securityNET U/UTP Category 6 LSZH Cca 305m cable

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 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 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.

Cca-class cables demonstrate 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, fire growth rate, and flame spread.

The full class designation includes additional parameters: smoke production (s1, s2, s3), flaming droplets (d0, d1, d2), and the acidity of combustion gases (a1, a2, a3). Cca cables are subject to the AVCP 1+ assessment system, which includes production facility certification and periodic control testing.

Cables of this class are used in facilities with elevated fire safety requirements, such as office buildings, hotels, schools, evacuation routes, and common areas of multi-family residential buildings. In many EU countries, the Cca class is the standard required for installations in public-use buildings.

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.

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.
