LAN Cables
Italiana Conduttori, based in Gropello Cairoli, Italy, produces over 100,000 km of cables annually. Known for CAVEL coaxial cables since 1968, the company expanded to LAN cables in 2011. It adheres to EU RoHS and REACH regulations, ensuring environmentally friendly production. CAVEL LAN cables offer a 25-year warranty and are backed by quality certifications like UNI EN ISO 9001:2008.
TIA/EIA-568: Specifies cabling types, distances, connectors, and performance for categories 3, 5e, and 6A, including pin/pair assignments T568A and T568B.
ISO/IEC 11801: Covers structured cabling for various applications, classifying cables from Cat.5e to Cat.7A based on frequency capabilities.
Primarily unshielded (U/UTP) but also available as screened (F/UTP), these cables are designed for noise rejection and high signal-noise ratio, suitable for Ethernet applications up to 100 MHz. They support PoE and can carry multiple signals, including telephony and video. Standard length is 100 meters, with RJ45 connectors using T568A or T568B schemes.
Cat.5e cables are constructed with solid or flexible conductors and various sheath materials for different environments. They comply with standards like ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and TIA/EIA-568-B, ensuring performance up to 100 MHz. Fire-resistance ratings and electrical data, such as impedance and capacitance, are specified for safety and performance.
Key electrical data include impedance of 100 ± 5 Ohm, mutual capacitance of 48 pF/m, and various attenuation and return loss values across frequencies. The cables are designed for efficient data transmission with specified bending radius, tensile strength, and temperature ranges.
Cat.6, Cat.6A, and Cat.7 cables are detailed with key parameters like frequency performance, impedance, attenuation, and resistance. Cat.6 supports up to 250 MHz, Cat.6A extends to 500 MHz, and Cat.7 reaches up to 600 MHz.
Installation guidelines emphasize proper termination and bending radius to maintain performance. Cat.6 and Cat.6A cables should not be bent too tightly, and the outer sheath should not be stripped more than 12.7mm.
The cables comply with standards such as EIA-TIA 568B.2, EN 50173, IEC 61156-5, and ISO/IEC 11801. Fire-resistance ratings are specified according to IEC 60332-1.
For optimal performance, use RJ45 connectors with the same pinout scheme (T568A or T568B) at both ends. Cat.6A cables are recommended for environments with high alien crosstalk.
Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. Cat.7 cables are designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 100 meters and are compatible with previous network standards.
Cat.6 and Cat.6A cables feature solid conductors and are available in shielded forms to enhance performance in high EMI environments. Cat.7 cables include individual shielding for each pair and overall cable shielding to optimize RF protection.
Tables provide detailed electrical data, including attenuation, return loss, and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) values across various frequencies. Physical data such as cable weight, copper content, and bending radius are also included.
Suitable for primary, secondary, and tertiary applications, these cables comply with standards such as IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.5, ISDN, TPDDI, ATM, EIA-TIA 568B.2, EN 50173, EN 50288-5-1, IEC 61156-5, and ISO/IEC 11801. Fire-resistance ratings are provided according to PVC IEC 60332-1 and LSZH IEC 60332-1.
Cables are constructed with 4x2x AWG23/1 conductors, with a diameter of 0.57 mm made of copper. The insulation material is PEG with a diameter of 1.40 mm. The screen is S/FTP with a film foil laminate of Al/Pet and an overall braid screen of Cu Sn with 41% optical coverage. The outer sheath is orange LSZH with a diameter of 8.00 mm.
Copper content is 24.9 kg/km, and cable weight is 59.6 kg/km. Minimum bending radius is 80/40 mm. Installation temperature ranges from 0° to +50°C, and operation temperature ranges from -20° to +60°C. Maximum pulling strength is 320 N, with a fire load of 623 MJ/km and energy consumption of 173 KWh/km.
Impedance is 100 ± 5 Ohm for 1 ÷ 100 MHz. Mutual capacitance at 800Hz is 43 pF/m, and the velocity ratio is 77%. Transmission data at 20°C is provided for various frequencies, detailing attenuation, return loss, near-end crosstalk, and attenuation-to-crosstalk ratio.
The CABLEBOX dispenser is introduced as a packaging solution designed for efficiency, economy, and ecology. Made of durable plastic, it allows for easy cable dispensing and rewinding, reducing waste and improving installation efficiency.
The document highlights the importance of multimedia cables in modern applications, offering a variety of hybrid and bundled cables. It emphasizes the quality and durability of CAVEL cables, designed to meet high standards and provide excellent performance in multimedia applications.

Cat. 5e LAN CABLES APPLICATION LAN Cat.5e twisted pair cable for the transport of signals, was until recently the most commonly used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet. It comes from an improved Cat.5. Normally, it provides performance up to 100 MHz and it is suitable for applications 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet). The first two applications require two pairs of wires, while connecting 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) requires four pairs. In some cases, they can be transported over a single cable also multiple signals: eg. Cat.5e...
