POLYCAB LAN Cable
POLYCAB offers a variety of LAN cables, also known as Ethernet cables, designed to connect devices like computers, routers, and switches within a local area network (LAN). Here’s an overview of their key features and common types:
Description
Features:
- Compliance with standards: POLYCAB LAN cables adhere to industry standards like TIA/EIA-568-B.2 and ISO/IEC 11801, ensuring compatibility with various network devices and optimal performance.
- Conductor material: Typically utilizes solid bare copper conductors for reliable signal transmission.
- Cable jacket: Available in PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) materials. PVC offers a cost-effective option, while LSZH is preferred for safety reasons as it emits minimal smoke and fumes in case of fire.
- Cable category: Available in different categories, each with its maximum data transfer speeds and recommended applications:
- CAT 5e: Supports speeds up to 1 Gbps and is suitable for basic network applications.
- CAT 6: Supports speeds up to 10 Gbps and offers improved performance for demanding applications like video streaming and online gaming.
- CAT 6A: Supports speeds up to 10 Gbps over longer distances (up to 100 meters) and provides enhanced performance for high-bandwidth applications.
- Shielding: Some cables include shielding (foil or braid) to minimize interference from external electromagnetic sources, especially in noisy environments.
Common Polycab LAN Cable Types:
- CAT 5e UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): A cost-effective and widely used option for basic network applications.
- CAT 6 UTP: Offers improved performance over CAT 5e, suitable for general networking needs.
- CAT 6A UTP: Designed for higher speeds and longer distances, ideal for demanding applications.
- CAT 6 FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair): Includes foil shielding for additional protection against interference, often used in industrial settings.
Choosing the Right Polycab LAN Cable:
When selecting a Polycab LAN cable, consider the following factors:
- Network requirements: Determine the required data transfer speeds based on your network usage (e.g., basic browsing, video streaming, online gaming).
- Cable length: Choose a cable length sufficient to reach your devices without unnecessary excess.
- Environment: Consider if shielding is necessary for your environment to minimize interference.
- Budget: Compare the cost of different cable categories and materials to find the best fit for your needs.
