Q1: What is the difference between UTP and F/UTP cable?
A1: F/UTP cable includes an overall aluminum foil shield around all four pairs, providing better protection against EMI than standard UTP cable.
Q2: What is the difference between F/UTP and S/FTP?
A2: F/UTP uses one overall foil shield, while S/FTP includes both an overall braided shield and individual foil shielding for each pair. S/FTP offers higher EMI protection but at a higher cost.
Q3: Can it be used for PoE devices?
A3: Yes. The cable supports PoE and PoE+ applications such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP systems.
Q4: Does the length of a network cable affect network speed?
A4: Cat5e supports a maximum length of 100 meters, while Cat6 supports 10Gbps over a maximum distance of 55 meters. Exceeding these standard lengths may lead to signal attenuation and a reduction in network speed.
Q5: What jacket options are available?
A5: PVC, LSZH, and PE jacket options are available to meet different installation requirements.
