Cable

Cable interference creates signal disruptions. Crosstalk and
EMI can generate interference. Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a standards feature
crosstalk specifications.

Consider cable bend radius specifications to protect the
integrity of data transmissions. Avoid overbending copper and fibre
cables.

Cable distance refers to the maximum run length
recommendations for Cat5, 5e, 6 and other network cabling as specified in
TIA/EIA standards.

Singlemode fibre transmits signals over longer distancesthan multimode. Singlemode optical fibre cable has a role in next-generationEthernet.

Multimode fibre transmits digital signals using light.Multimode ISO classifications are OM1 through OM4, with OM3 as a popular10Gig choice.

Twisted pairs are made up of two copper wires twisted together to help reduce electromagnetic interference.

Ethernet is a computer network technology and widely used LAN standard. Ethernet cables connect devices within networks for high performance.

Cat 6a cable technology is for Ethernet connections and high-speed transmissions. It delivers performance and crosstalk improvements over Cat 6.

An FTP cable for Ethernet connections has foiled twisted pair wiring to reduce interference in commercial applications.
