securityNET F/UTP category 6 PE outdoor dry cable 500m

Cables designed for outdoor dry-environment applications are engineered for use outside buildings in locations not exposed to direct moisture. The use of conductors made from 100% pure solid copper, combined with appropriate cable construction, ensures stable transmission performance and mechanical durability. This solution helps maintain electrical properties under varying temperature conditions and mechanical stress. These cables are well suited for routing along building facades, in cable trays, and within protective installation conduits.

Category 6, corresponding to Class E, is a structured cabling standard designed for data transmission speeds of up to 1 Gb/s (1000BASE-T). According to the standard, it operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz, ensuring stable data transmission and an appropriate performance margin for network installations. Category 6 can also support higher data transmission speeds of up to 10 Gb/s; however, this speed is only achievable over shorter distances, typically ranging from 37 to 55 meters.

Category 6 cabling is widely used in LAN, WAN, and IP surveillance systems, enabling connections between devices such as switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras. In accordance with structured cabling principles, the maximum permanent link length should not exceed 90 meters, assuming the use of patch cords up to 5 meters long on both ends of the transmission channel.

The PE (polyethylene) jacket used in twisted pair cables is primarily intended for outdoor installations. This material offers excellent resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and varying weather conditions, allowing for long-term cable operation outside buildings.

Cables with a PE jacket are stiffer than their PVC or LSZH counterparts; however, they provide superior mechanical and environmental resistance. Due to their flammable properties and lack of low-smoke characteristics, they are not intended for indoor building installations.

Euroclass Fca is the lowest fire reaction classification level in the CPR system. Cables in this class do not have confirmed performance parameters regarding flame spread, heat release, or smoke production.

Cables classified as Fca are not approved for permanent building installations covered by CPR regulations. Their use is limited to temporary, outdoor, or other installations that are not subject to building fire safety requirements.

In projects subject to CPR requirements, the use of cables with at least Eca classification is mandatory. The selection of the appropriate Euroclass should be based on project documentation and local fire safety regulations.

An installation based on the PoE++ standard (IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3) enables simultaneous data transmission and power delivery to end devices using all four wire pairs (4PPoE), with a maximum power output of up to 60 W per port. This solution allows network devices to be powered without the need for a local power source. The maximum transmission channel length is up to 100 meters. A higher cable category provides lower power loss and better operating conditions at elevated temperatures, especially in cable bundles and telecommunications cabinets.

The PoE++ standard is used to power a wide range of active devices, including VoIP phones, Wi-Fi access points (802.11n and 802.11ac), CCTV cameras, including PTZ and heated models, access control systems, alarm devices, video terminals, and information kiosks. This solution is designed for devices with power requirements of up to approximately 51 W while maintaining stable operation across the entire infrastructure.

Cable supplied on a standard 500 m reel. This packaging format is intended for larger installations, enabling efficient deployment of longer cable runs.
