The Pure Copper CAT5 FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) Cable is a high-performance network cable designed for structured cabling solutions. It is particularly suited for environments that require enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The use of pure copper conductors ensures excellent signal integrity and high-speed data transmission capabilities, making it an ideal choice for both commercial and industrial networks.
Key Features:
-
Superior Conductivity: Made with pure copper wires, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and reliable data transmission at higher speeds compared to cables using copper-clad aluminum.
-
EMI Protection: The FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) design includes a shield that covers the twisted pairs, providing added protection against electromagnetic interference, which is critical in noisy electrical environments.
-
High Data Rate: Supports Ethernet networks running at speeds up to 100 Mbps and bandwidths up to 100 MHz, which is sufficient for most office and industrial applications.
-
Durability: The robust construction includes a durable outer jacket that resists environmental hazards, such as moisture and abrasion, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
-
Flexibility: Despite the shielding, these cables remain flexible, facilitating easy installation around corners and in tight spaces without compromising the integrity of the cable.
Technical Specifications:
-
Conductor Material: 100% pure copper.
-
Shielding: Aluminum foil surrounds each twisted pair, known as Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP).
-
Jacket Material: PVC or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for enhanced safety in fire-prone environments.
-
Compliance: Meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards and ISO/IEC 11801 specifications.
-
Cable Rating: Suitable for Category 5e Ethernet networks.
-
Connector Type: Typically terminated with RJ45 connectors that are compatible with Ethernet ports and networking equipment.
Ideal Use Cases:
-
Commercial Office Networks: Ensures reliable connectivity for computers, printers, and other network devices in a corporate setting.
-
Industrial Applications: Ideal for manufacturing plants and other industrial settings where electrical interference is common, impacting data transmission.
-
Data Centers: Suitable for connecting servers, switches, and storage devices within a data center environment where data integrity is crucial.
-
Outdoor Installations: Can be used for outdoor network runs where environmental protection is needed, though additional protective conduit may be recommended.
