Our range of Cat7 Cables have a double shielding (S/FTP) to eliminate the chance of cross talk and interference from near by devices. These cables are FULL COPPER which is suitable for POE devices such as Access points WIFI Range extenders CCTV or networking switches that need to carry power via the Ethernet cable to a POE port. If you are buying Ethernet cable for the first time, focus on these four features and you'll make a good decision. Other factors are worth considering in certain circumstances so if in doubt, read on. The Speed determines how much data (bandwidth) can be sent through the cable. Cat 7 cables have a maximum speed/bandwidth of 10 000 Mbit/s but Cat 6 carries a lower 1000Mbit/s and the cat 5e range of cables carry up to 1000Mbit/s. Armoured cable is used for submarine communications cable to protect against damage by fishing vessels and wildlife. Early cables carrying telegraph used iron wire armouring, but later switched to steel. The first of these was a cable across the English Channel laid by the Submarine Telegraph Company in 1851. [10] Many more telegraph, and later, telephone cables soon followed with multiple cores. Modern cables are fibre-optic cables rather than copper cores. The first transatlantic fibre-optic cable was TAT-8 in 1988. [11] See also [ edit ]

ISBN 978-0-7487-7979-6.Bedding: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bedding is used to provide a protective boundary between inner and outer layers of the cable. The use of the armour as the means of providing earthing to the equipment supplied by the cable (a function technically known as the circuit protective conductor or CPC) is a matter of debate within the electrical installation industry. It is sometimes the case that an additional core within the cable is specified as the CPC (for instance, instead of using a two core cable for line and neutral and the armouring as the CPC, a three core cable is used) or an external earth wire is run alongside the cable to serve as the CPC. Primary concerns are the relative conductivity of the armouring compared to the cores (which reduces as the cable size increases) and reliability issues. Recent articles by authoritative sources have analysed the practice in detail and concluded that, for the majority of situations, the armouring is adequate to serve as the CPC under UK wiring regulations.

All good quality cables that have been tested and certified by the manufacturer for a certain bandwidth and data rate are essentially the same. Shielded Cat6 and Cat6a cable will give you better performance than unshielded, particularly when cables must be run in close proximity to power lines or large electrical equipment. The PVC version of SWA cable, [5] described above, meets the requirements of both British Standard BS 5467 and International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC 60502. [6] It is known as SWA BS 5467 Cable and it has a voltage rating of 600/1000 V. [7] Trevor Marks (2002) Handbook on BS7671: The IEE Wiring Regulations – A Handbook of Compliance. Radikal Phase Publishing House Limited. ISBN 1904126022. p. 358Armoured CAT6A Cable Per Metre – Armoured ethernet cable / network cable constructed with a galvanised steel wire armour. The armour allows you to use this cable for outdoor and underground (direct burial) applications. This armour also helps protect against interference. Conductor: consists of plain stranded copper (cables are classified to indicate the degree of flexibility. Class 2 refers to rigid stranded copper conductors as stipulated by British Standard BS EN 60228:2005 [2]) Cat8 is designed for switch-to-switch communications in 25G and 40G networks. Residential and commercial projects outside the data center would be better using Cat6a cable. Not only is it less expensive, it's also easier and faster to install.
