twisted pair

Twisted pair cable is designed for signal transmission in local and global networks. It can be laid not only inside the building, but also outside it. Also suitable for aerial installation. In the Net-server online store you can purchase high-quality twisted pair cable inexpensively. All models are presented only by trusted manufacturers with whom we have been cooperating for a long time.

“Twisted cable” got its name for a reason. This is a literal translation from English. If you look closely at the inside, you will notice many thin wires. The figure varies from 4 to 1000 units. The wires, usually colored, are intertwined in pairs. This design provides a significant reduction in electromagnetic interference coming from outside.

It was originally created as a telephone line and only after a significant amount of time was “retrained” for computer networks.

Twisted pair cable. Features and differences
Choosing a twisted pair cable is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. To begin with, you should highlight the parameters that you need to pay attention to:

determine which UTP or FTP pair is needed;
model cost;
installation features;
data transfer rate;
the distance over which the cable needs to be laid;
presence of shielding and outer shell;
material of manufacture;
presence of a protective shell.
All of the above points are important to consider, since each affects the correctness and quality of the work.

The main question that most buyers have is the type of cable. UTP and FTP are practically the same in design, but there are also significant differences. For example, FTP has a larger protective layer and less bending. In other words, we can say that UTP twisted pair wire is ideal when there are completely no risks of electromagnetic radiation. As for the shielded FTP cable, in this case the model has an additional foil layer. The wire is ideal for large industrial enterprises, for example, those associated with electric vehicles.

As for the budget, in this case, of course, UTP would be a more profitable option. This is a relatively inexpensive cable that, in most cases, adequately performs its assigned tasks. Cable installation is also an important point that should be taken into account when purchasing. The ideal way is to carry out all communications inside a fire-resistant pipe. This will not only minimize risks, but will also give the room a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The presence of electrical appliances nearby should be taken into account; this mostly applies to the unshielded type. In this case, you should choose a gasket away from devices that are sources of electromagnetic radiation.

When choosing a manufacturing material, it is strongly recommended to give preference to copper over copper-plated aluminum. You should also pay special attention to copper plating technology. Before you buy a twisted pair cable, you still need to understand the categories. Wires 5 and 5e operate with frequencies up to 100 MHz, while wires 6 and 6e operate at 250 and 500 MHz, respectively. Such twisted pair cable is capable of high-quality signal transmission over a distance of up to 50 meters.

Twisted pair wire. Exploitation
It is enough to choose the right model and carry out installation work in accordance with all established standards. If all parameters have been met, the cable will last for decades.

Service Features
In order for the wire to work for a long period of time, it must be regularly checked and tested for correctness. Experienced professionals use special instruments to check network connections and cable parameters. Among the main arsenal one can highlight a wide variety of testers and analyzers.
