Draka Network cable

makes life more comfortable and safer and also helps to save energy costs. The prerequisite is always the networking of different devices with each other or with the Internet. The RJ-45 connection (Ethernet) plays an increasingly important role here. Today, it is no longer reserved for computers alone, but is being used in more and more appliances, be it TV sets, game consoles or washing machines. The Ethernet network thus represents THE future-oriented infrastructure solution. This trend was taken into account by a newly created standard. EN 50173-4 describes the professional installation of application-neutral communication cable systems in apartments. Such an infrastructure, called structured cabling in technical jargon, guarantees maximum data rates with minimum susceptibility to faults and thus offers an advantage over conventional application-specific cabling.

Practitioners know that expanding an existing home cabling system is usually difficult due to lack of space. The new ultra-compact Cat.7 cable UCHOME SS26 solves this problem. Despite its diameter of just 5.8mm, the cable meets all requirements of the IEEE 802.3 standard for applications up to 10GBase-T and for the EA channel up to a length of 60m. Thus, this cable is not only the first choice when it comes to subsequent installation in already occupied empty conduits, but also when the smallest bending radii have to be realized. The Prysmian Group (Draka) is also breaking new ground in packaging: The Uchome Cat.7 cable is delivered in patented Reelex packaging. With this packaging, 350m of the cable is wrapped without twist in a handy cardboard box. The cable can be easily pulled out of the carton. Cable clutter on the last meters and the disposal of the drum are now a thing of the past. In the end, all that remains is a cardboard box, which can be disposed of easily and in an environmentally friendly manner.
