SecurityNET F/UTP 200MHz category 5e LSZH Dca cable 350m

Cables designed for indoor installations are engineered to operate in stable environmental conditions typical of residential, office, and infrastructure buildings. Their construction, based on conductors made of 100% pure solid copper, ensures stable and consistent transmission performance along the entire cable length. The use of solid copper minimizes signal loss and supports compliance with the requirements of ICT systems. These cables are fully compatible with solutions used in structured cabling systems.

Category 5e, corresponding to Class D, is a structured cabling standard designed for data transmission speeds of up to 1 Gb/s (1000BASE-T). This category typically operates within a frequency range of up to 100 MHz; however, in this solution, the bandwidth has been extended to 350 MHz, providing greater transmission performance margins and more reliable data transmission.

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

The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath used in twisted pair cables is designed to provide enhanced fire safety. This material contains no halogens and, when exposed to high temperatures, emits minimal smoke without producing aggressive corrosive gases.

LSZH-sheathed cables are intended for indoor installations in environments with elevated safety requirements, such as public buildings, offices, data centers, and evacuation routes. Compared to PVC, the sheath is generally less flexible, but it provides better protection for people, infrastructure, and equipment in emergency situations.

Dca-class cables meet the requirements for limited contribution to fire development. This classification is based on test results in accordance with EN 50399 and EN 60332-1-2 standards, including the measurement of heat release and flame spread under bundled cable installation conditions.

The full class designation should include additional parameters: smoke production (s1, s2, s3), flaming droplets (d0, d1, d2), and the acidity of combustion gases (a1, a2, a3). Dca cables are subject to the AVCP 3 assessment system, which requires initial type testing carried out by an accredited laboratory.

Cables of this class are used in standard commercial and residential buildings where no elevated fire safety requirements apply. In some EU countries, the Dca class represents the minimum required level for permanent building installations.

An installation using the PoE+ standard (IEEE 802.3at, Type 2) enables power delivery to network devices with a maximum output of up to 30 W while data transmission is carried over two wire pairs. This solution is widely used in standard LAN installations where moderate power demand is required.

The transmission channel length can reach up to 100 meters, in accordance with structured cabling standards. This standard ensures stable operation with typical cable categories used in indoor installations.

PoE+ is used to power devices such as VoIP phones, Wi-Fi access points operating under the 802.11n standard, CCTV cameras, alarm systems, biometric access control devices, and Video VoIP terminals. It is intended for devices with power consumption of up to 25.5 W, eliminating the need for local power supplies.

The cable is supplied in a carton box as a 305 m (1000 ft) coil. This is the standard length used in the telecommunication industry, convenient for typical structured cabling installations.
