Cables and lines -Intelligent Cabling with Copper and Fiber Optic Cables

METZ CONNECT – Cables and lines Cable concepts with a perspective The world is becoming more and more networked. Consistent as well as transparent information - available everywhere and at all times - devices that communicate with other devices to depict processes - all of this is increasingly determining our daily lives. All this requires reliable connection technology. Creating perfect connections - that is the core competence of METZ CONNECT. The decision between fiber optic or copper data cables as the ideal solution for the workplace depends on many factors: deployment environment, network...

METZ CONNECT – Cables and lines Products and solutions We provide solutions today. For the innovations of tomorrow.

METZ CONNECT - Cables and lines APPLICATION IN THE LAN - LOCAL AREA NETWORK Our high-quality cables are always used where a highspeed data transmission in local area net-works (LAN) is required. The cables are thereby used for structured and application neutral networks - Ethernet 100 BaseT, 1000 BaseT and 10 GBit Ethernet. In addition to the voice and data communication applications our solutions are suitable for the remote power supply of various terminal devices through Power over Ethernet (4PPoE up to 100 W) and HighEnd 4K video (e.g. HD-BaseT). Our product range includes installation and...

METZ CONNECT - Cables and lines EU Construction Products Directive (BauPVo)/(CPR) The new EU Construction Products Directive - in short BauPVo - replaced the previous Construction Products Directive 89/106/EEC (BPR) in July 2013, and has been adopted as a European Directive in all EU member states since July 1, 2017. The aim was to create a common technical language by adopting the standards, which defines uniform product and testing standards through technical specifications. The Construction Product Regulation (CPR) refers to all cables that are manufactured or distributed for the fixed and...

METZ CONNECT - Cables and lines Fire behavior For years, flame retardancy has been one of the minimum requirements for indoor cables. PVC cables are often used. Although they are highly fire retardant they will not prevent the fire spreading. They can even release highly corrosive and toxic gases. High-quality LSHF (FRNC) materials with significantly improved properties offer a proven and future-proof alternative to PVC cables in the event of fire. Innovative cable solutions - for more safety Fire class B2ca Building with a very high security requirement Fire class Cca Building with a high security...

Fiber optic

METZ CONNECT – Cables and lines Fiber science The variety of applications, different requirements and continuously growing data volumes have led to the ongoing development of different fiber optic types. The main differences and properties of these types are described below. Basics Signal propagation in the optical waveguide is based on the principle of total reflection. This means that a light beam can be totally reflected at the transition from an optically denser medium to an optically thinner medium depending on its angle of incidence. For this reason, the basic structure of fiber optic cables...

METZ CONNECT – Cables and lines Multimode fiber (MMF) With multimode fibers, several light waves or modes are used to transmit signals. The large core diameter of the fiber of 50 µm or 62.5 µm enables the propagation of several different modes and allows the use of technically simpler and, above all, less expensive light sources. Despite the optimized beam path due to the adjustment of the refractive index in the fiber, the gradient profile the large number of modes quickly leads to propagation time differences and overlapping of the signals, so multimode fibers are mainly used for short transmission...

METZ CONNECT – Cables and lines Singlemode fibers (SMF) In contrast to multimode fibers, only one mode is used for transmission in the singlemode range. For this purpose, the diameter of the fiber core was reduced and is only 9 µm for SMF. Since propagation time differences and signal overlaps do not occur until very late in the transmission of a single mode, SMF makes it possible to transmit data over long distances. Due to the small fiber core and the low acceptance cone, highly efficient lasers are required as light sources for singlemode fibers, and these are more expensive than the light...
