Data Cables
Cable is one of the most critical components in horizontal wiring for the performance of the whole link, in terms of both quality of the product and conformity of the installation. Any cable installation error will seriously compromise
performance of the installation.
IEP-Legrand’s new cabling systems help facilitate wiring and installation and increase the data transfer speed with both the copper solution and the fibre optic solution.
The cable is one of the most critical components in horizontal wiring for the performance of the whole link, in terms of both quality of the product and conformity of the installation. Any cable installation error will seriously compromise performance of the installation.
For structured cabling systems, the standard requires the use of category 5e, 6 and 6A (100 MHz, 250 MHz and 500 MHz respectively) twisted, symmetrical 4-pair cables with an impedance of 100 Ω 1).
The cable can be of the following type:
- Unshielded U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pairs)
- Shielded F/UTP (Foiled Twisted Pairs)
- Double shielding SF/UTP or S/FTP.
NOTE : To date, category 7 is not very widely used, even though it is standardised and can offer high performance levels. It is used for reasons of form factor, cost and where there are installation difficulties.
