Connector shielding

The Intellinet network cable type 314527 is a patch cable of category Cat6a with a length of 3 metres. It is designed for use in modern network infrastructures requiring high data transfer rates and reliable signal transmission. The cable features S/FTP shielding (S-STP), meaning that each individual pair is shielded with metallic foil and the entire cable is additionally shielded to effectively protect against electromagnetic interference. The connectors are RJ-45 plugs and are also shielded to ensure optimal signal integrity. The jacket material consists of nylon and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), providing good mechanical stability and resistance to external influences.

Applications

The cable is suitable for use in professional networks, particularly in environments where high bandwidth and stable connections are required. It supports the 10GBase-T cabling technology, enabling data transfer rates of up to 10 gigabits per second. The maximum transmission distance is 100 metres, making it suitable for use in offices, server rooms, or building cabling. The frequency of 500 MHz ensures high bandwidth and minimizes signal loss, especially at high data rates.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable is fully backward compatible with previous cable categories, including Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5, enabling flexible integration into existing infrastructures. It is compliant with the T568A and T568B cabling standards, which are globally recognized in the IT industry. The AWG cable size 28 refers to the cross-section of the copper conductors, ensuring a stable and conductive connection. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support via IEEE 802.3af is included, allowing simultaneous data and power transmission over the network cable – for example, for IP cameras, VoIP phones, or access points.

Technology Explained Simply

The S/FTP shielding (S-STP) provides double shielding: each of the four pairs is individually wrapped in metallic foil (PIMF), and the entire cable is additionally shielded. This protects signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which is especially important in environments with high electromagnetic noise. The shielding of the RJ-45 plugs ensures that the shielding is not interrupted at the connection point, enhancing signal quality. The frequency of 500 MHz is a measure of bandwidth and determines how much data can be transmitted simultaneously – the higher the frequency, the more data can be transmitted without degrading signal quality.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is suitable for use with standard RJ-45 sockets and ports in switches, routers, PCs, and other network devices. Support for IEEE 802.3af (PoE) enables use with PoE-compatible devices without requiring additional power cables. The backward-compatible cabling means the cable also functions in networks with lower requirements (e.g., Cat5e) without affecting performance.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by simply plugging the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding sockets. The cable connection is mechanically robust and suitable for permanent cabling applications. The length of 3 metres is appropriate for typical applications in offices, server rooms, or connecting devices within a room. The PVC jacket provides sufficient protection against mechanical stress and is intended for indoor use.

Operational Advantages

The cable offers high reliability at high data rates and is designed for use in demanding networks. The shielding and high frequency ensure clear signal transmission, even in environments with electromagnetic interference. PoE support reduces the number of required power cables and simplifies installation. The 10-year warranty underscores the product’s quality and durability.
