The securityNET installation twisted-pair cable is designed for making connections between multimedia signal distribution points and user connection outlets. F/UTP twisted pair cable (shielded) is suitable for installations in computer networks, telephone systems, CCTV systems, etc., that are exposed to electromagnetic interference. It has a PE outer jacket that protects it from damage resulting from external conditions. The cable meets the requirements of structured cabling standards: ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, EIA/TIA 568-C.2.
Application
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
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.
Shielding
F/UTP twisted pair cable features an overall foil shield surrounding all wire pairs, without individual shielding for each pair. This design reduces the impact of external electromagnetic interference and minimizes cable-generated interference affecting the surrounding environment.
This cable is intended for installations in environments with moderate levels of EMI, where U/UTP may not provide sufficient transmission stability. It requires proper grounding of the shield along the entire transmission path. It is recommended for routing near electrical installations and within denser cable bundles. It performs well in installations with high requirements for transmission stability and performance.
Sheath
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.
CPR class
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.
PoE
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.
Color
A color primarily used in technical and outdoor installations. In the case of PE jackets, it provides enhanced UV resistance due to the carbon black content, which reduces material aging during prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Warranty
By choosing securityNET cables, you are investing in solutions designed for long-term and reliable performance in network installations. These products are covered by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, confirming the quality of the materials used and the control of the production process.
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and workmanship faults revealed during use in accordance with the intended application and applicable installation standards.
Packaging
Cable supplied on a standard 500 m reel. This packaging format is intended for larger installations, enabling efficient deployment of longer cable runs.
