Ethernet LAN Cables

An Ethernet LAN cable is a data cable made of four twisted copper pairs that connects network devices such as computers, switches, modems and IP cameras to the local network. It is used in office and residential structured cabling, data centers, factory networks, and connections for PoE-powered cameras and wireless access points. The subgroups are divided by category class: CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, CAT7, CAT7A and CAT8 cables are mostly sold by the meter from the Reçber, Mekas and Birtaş brands, while CAT6 patch cables with RJ45 ends are sold by the piece in ready-made lengths. Choose the category class according to the network's target speed and line length, the shield construction (U/UTP, F/UTP, SF/UTP, S/FTP) according to the electrical noise in the environment, the outer sheath (PVC, LSZH, PE) according to indoor or outdoor installation, and the conductor gauge according to the line length and PoE load. The defined bandwidth increases as the class rises: CAT5e is defined up to 100 MHz, CAT6 250 MHz, CAT6a 500 MHz, CAT7 600 MHz, CAT7A 1000 MHz and CAT8 up to 2000 MHz. The performance of a link is determined by the lowest-class component among the cable, socket, patch panel and patch cable.

How to choose Ethernet LAN Cables

An Ethernet LAN cable is a data cable made of four twisted copper pairs that connects network devices such as computers, switches, modems and IP cameras to the local network. It is used in office and residential structured cabling, data centers, factory networks, and connections for PoE-powered cameras and wireless access points.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
