Short distance run — The smaller the gauge, the larger the diameter of the wire. The larger the diameter of a wire, the less electrical resistance there is for the signals it carries. Copper network cables with a smaller gauge larger diameter are typically available in longer lengths because they offer less resistance, allowing signals to travel farther. Less resistance also generates less heat. So we can say that even these days mini CAT6 cables are used only for patch panel cablings or maximum length is 90m for the installed cable and 10m for patch cords.
Less heat resistance — The same drawback of less electrical resistance is having an effect on POE Power over ethernet environment as well. In the cable industry, it is referred to as the current flow of electrons that runs throughout the wire. Imagine a flow of water that runs through a pipe. The wider the pipe is, the more water runs through it in a shorter time.
How does that translate to cables? Resistance is how many electrons make it through the cable and do not evaporate.
With a thinner cable, there is less flow and heat buildup, which causes the electrons to dissipate. The wider the cable, the easier it is for the electrons to pass through it. Hence there are chances that the usage of mini CAT6 cables in higher bundles of POE environment can cause some kind of heat dissipation and increases the chance of burnout.
Many of the mini CAT6 cable manufacturers are specify a maximum bundle size of 24 cables to assist in limiting the temperature increases in the cables associated with delivering POE deployments. In addition, the standard calls for generic system performance so that CAT6 components from any vendor can be used in the channel. If different category components are used with CAT6 components, then the channel will achieve the transmission performance of the lower category. Many Cat-6 cables also include a nylon spline which helps eliminate crosstalk.
Although the spline is not required in Cat-5 cable, some manufactures include it anyway. In Cat-6 cable, the spline is not required either as long as the cable tests according to the standard. In the picture above, the Cat-5e cable is the only one with a spline. While the nylon spline helps reduce crosstalk in the wire, the thicker sheath protects against near-end crosstalk NEXT and alien crosstalk AXT which both occur more often as the frequency Mhz increases.
In this picture, the Cat-5e cable has the thinnest sheath, but it also was the only one with the nylon spline. Chipkin has BACnet solutions for almost every situation. Contact Us. Cat6 cable is rated for MHz and 1GB up to meters. The benefits of Cat6 cable is that they can achieve 10GB at shorter distances. The recommended length for this is meters under ideal conditions. So that makes patch cords great for this. Having an overall shorter length run will increase speeds on your channel.
For patch cords you are usually shopping for shorter lengths which ameks cat6 cable suitable for almost any device. Skip to content Choosing the right cable is the first step in a successful network.
