‘Future-proof’ data and multimedia cable
Dätwyler has launched Uninet 7150 4P, which it describes as a ‘future-proof’ Category 7+ data cable offering bandwidth reserves of up to 1500 MHz, double shielding (PiMF) and a very robust design.
The new twisted pair cable is compatible with every standard connector system and has been optimised for the transmission of broadband cable TV signals. It is suitable not only for all applications up to class F but also for multimedia applications. In addition, the new AWG-22 cable enables the simultaneous transmission of two communication services such as data, voice and TV transmissions over Ethernet (via cable sharing).
Its electrical and mechanical features exceed all existing international standards as well as EMV and CATV requirements (862 MHz). Uninet 7150 4P has a halogen-free, flame-retardant FRNC/LSOH sheathing guaranteeing highest safety in the event of a fire. It is also RoHS-compliant.
Dätwyler gives a 20-year warranty for the multimedia cable when used within a Unilan Prime Solution (class F), Compact- or Modular Solution (class E).
With a diameter of only 7.8mm, the Uninet 7150 4P Dätwyler claims it is one of the thinnest Category 7 PiMF cables on the market. It allows for a high packing density in the cable channel and a small bending radius of 32mm installed. Due to the combination of foil sheathing and a tinned copper braid screen, the cable offers high NEXT reserves up to 1200 MHz. Therefore the Uninet 7150 4P is especially suitable for cable sharing. In addition, even with TV frequencies, a positive ACR (difference between NEXT and attenuation) can be achieved, for example: at 800 MHz more than 47 dB.
The company says: “Thanks to a sophisticated and optimized cable design, the highest insulation characteristics (EMV Coupling Attenuation) for CATV can be achieved. The excellent insulation effect prevents interference from external sources. Due to its design, the materials used and the special production process, the cable has a very low delay skew.”
The Uninet 7150 4P is extremely resistant to mechanical influences. It was tested for its reaction to tension, impact, hammer strokes and lateral pressure and was able to exceed all standard values, for example three hammer strokes, in this field by far. Therefore it can be guaranteed, that the electrical values of the PiMF cable – usually extremely sensitive to lateral pressure and impact effects – can be sustained without restriction.
Dätwyler has also simplified the handling of the wires as they now have longitudinal coloured stripes and can be easily distinguished from each other.
