85 technical guides for choosing Cables products: selection criteria, standards, common mistakes and frequently asked questions.

What Is a CAT8 Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — A CAT8 cable is an S/FTP cable with each pair individually screened, made for 25 and 40 Gbit/s Ethernet on short server-to-switch links in data centres.
What Is a CAT7A Cable? Specifications, Types and Selection Criteria — A CAT7A cable is a copper data cable with four pairs, specified up to 1000 MHz, each pair foiled and all braided (S/FTP); it is Class FA in ISO/IEC 11801.
What Is a 50 Ohm Coaxial Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — A 50 ohm coaxial cable is a coaxial RF cable with a characteristic impedance of 50 ohm that connects radio, GSM, WiFi and GPS equipment to its antenna.
What Is a Profibus Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — A Profibus cable is a single twisted-pair, shielded communication cable that connects stations on the Profibus fieldbus; DP types have a purple sheath.
What Is a KNX/EIB Bus Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — An EIB-BUS (KNX) cable is a twisted-pair, foil-screened communication cable that links KNX sensors and actuators and carries both data and bus power.
What Is LI2Y(St)CH Cable? Halogen-Free PIMF Signal Cable Selection — LI2Y(St)CH cable is a data and signal cable with PE-insulated twisted pairs, each foil shielded, an overall copper braid and a halogen-free outer sheath.
What Is a CAT7 Cable? Specifications, Types and Selection Criteria — A CAT7 cable is a copper data cable with four pairs, specified up to 600 MHz, each pair foiled and all braided (S/FTP); it carries 10 Gbps Ethernet over 100 metres.
What Is Speaker Cable? Types and Cross-Section Selection — Speaker cable is an unshielded audio cable with two flexible cores side by side that connects an amplifier output to a speaker; its cross-section is chosen by run length and speaker impedance.
What Is a CCTV Camera Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — A CCTV camera cable is a composite cable combining a 75-ohm coaxial video core with power and control conductors in one sheath, for analogue and HD analogue cameras.
What Is a Thermocouple Compensation Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — A thermocouple compensation cable extends the line between a thermocouple and an instrument without distorting the voltage, using conductors that match the thermocouple type.
What Is LI2Y(St)CY PIMF Cable? Choosing a Double-Shielded Data Cable — LI2Y(St)CY PIMF is a PVC-sheathed data transmission cable whose PE-insulated twisted pairs are each foil shielded, with an overall copper braid.
What Is SIMH FE180 Cable? Choosing Fire-Resistant Silicone Cable — SIMH FE180 cable is a multi-core cable with silicone-insulated copper cores under a silicone sheath that keeps its insulation for 180 minutes under flame according to IEC 60331.
What Is a CAT5e Cable? Specifications, Types and Selection Criteria — A CAT5e cable is a copper data cable with four twisted pairs, specified up to 100 MHz; it carries 1 Gbps Ethernet up to 100 metres and powers PoE devices.
What Is a Patch Cable? Choosing a Ready-Made Ethernet Cable — A patch cable is a ready-made Ethernet cable with factory-fitted RJ45 plugs on both ends, used for short links between modems, computers, switches and patch panels.
What Is a CAT6a Cable? Specifications, Types and Selection Criteria — A CAT6a cable is a copper data cable with four twisted pairs, specified up to 500 MHz; it carries 10 Gbps Ethernet up to 100 metres.
What Is a PLC Programming and Communication Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — A programming and communication cable is a ready-made data cable with connectors at both ends that links a PLC, operator panel or drive to a computer or to each other.
What Is Solar Cable? H1Z2Z2-K Types and Selection Criteria — Solar cable is a UV- and ozone-resistant single-core cable with a tinned copper conductor that connects panels to each other and to the inverter on the DC side of solar systems.
What Is a Fiber Optic Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — A fiber optic cable is a communication cable that carries data as light pulses instead of electricity, with glass fibers bundled inside a protective tube and sheath.
What Is an Intercom Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — An intercom cable is a fine cross-section, multicore low-current cable that carries voice, call and door-release signals between the entrance bell panel and the in-unit stations.
What Is a Power Cord? Plug-In Power Cable Types and Selection Criteria — A power cord is a ready-made cable that connects an appliance to the mains; most have a plug at one end and stripped cores at the other, and some are stripped at both ends.
What Is LIH(St)H Cable? Choosing a Halogen-Free Foil-Shielded Signal Cable — LIH(St)H cable is a foil-shielded signal cable with a drain wire and halogen-free insulation and sheath, used on fixed signal lines in halogen-free buildings.
What Is Shielded Silicone Cable? H05SSC4S-K Types and Selection Criteria — Shielded SIMH silicone cable (H05SSC4S-K) is a 300/500 V control and power cable with silicone insulation and sheath and a copper braid screen, rated -60 to +180 °C.
What Is LIHH Cable? Types and Selection Criteria — LIHH cable is an unshielded signal cable with fine-stranded copper conductors whose core insulation and outer sheath are made of halogen-free, flame-retardant compound.
What Is an HSLH Cable? Construction, Types and Selection Criteria — An HSLH cable is a flexible control cable with fine-stranded copper conductors and halogen-free core insulation and sheath; it is the halogen-free counterpart of the PVC YSLY cable.
