The main brands of network cables are as follows:
(1) AMP
AMP (AMP) is the brand we see most, and it is also The most commonly used one, it can be seen in almost every network cable store. Its biggest features are good quality and low price. If you buy it in a box, the genuine Amp Chaoye twisted pair usually only costs 1.5 yuan per meter. about. Because it is so popular, it has the most fake products, and some are so fake that they can be mistaken for real ones, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake ones.
AMP's Category 6 twisted pair system is composed of Quantum UTP cables, Quantum modular information socket system, Quantum modular patch panel system and Quantum jumpers and other connectors. The Quantum Category 6 system provides a bandwidth of 200MHz. Its UTP cable modular connection is composed of a traditional 110 system or tool-free modular connection hardware. The entire system will easily exceed the Category 6 cabling currently specified by ISO/IEC. performance standards.
(2) Siemon
Siemon products are often seen in integrated wiring systems. Compared with the Amp brand, they are of a much higher grade and have better quality. , technical characteristics are one level higher, of course, its price is also much higher, so it is difficult to see its application in the DIY market. Not only that, it also provides a complete set of solutions in the integrated wiring system, including network cable production and wiring tools to be introduced later.
The frequency bandwidth of the Simon SYSTEM 6 system exceeds 250MHz, and it can ensure that all performance parameters within 250MHz meet and exceed the requirements of the six categories of draft standards. Simon can provide all six categories of products (connection hardware, Cables) and systems (basic links and channels) test reports and test certifications from third-party certification laboratories (such as DELTA, ETL).
(3) Lucent
Although we hear a lot about the brand Lucent, we still rarely see it in the twisted pair industry, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises. . But this does not mean that it lacks technical strength. On the contrary, it can often be seen in high-end network construction. Backed by Bell Labs, Lucent's end-to-end "Category 6" cabling system SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED Solution designed and developed by Lucent Technologies has innovated every component of the cabling system that connects hosts and computers in the network, further optimizing the cabling system. end-to-end performance.
The GigaSPEED solution is a product with advanced performance, and its performance can fully meet and exceed the indicators of the latest Category 6 standard draft. The GigaSPEED system has 14 world patents. The typical GigaSPEED configuration is a combination of horizontal system UTP copper cable and vertical backbone and building group subsystem SYSTIMAX optical fiber. This solution provides users with the network performance they need today while also providing sufficient bandwidth for future network applications and technology development.
(4) Lite
The Gigabit Category 6 2400 system of Lite (NORDX/CDT) uses IBDN PS5 enhanced connection and IBDN 2400 series unshielded cables, which can provide With a data transfer rate of 2.4Gbps, its cable provides higher frequency bandwidth and margin to ensure a wider range of applications. Lite's new Category 6 product IBDN System 4800LX will reach a data transmission rate of 4.8Gbps. It is composed of the new IBDN 4800LX cable, PS6 connection hardware and PS6 standard cable, and can provide 300MHz bandwidth performance. Compared with the current Category 6 proposed standard draft, IBDN System 4800LX has significant improvements in various performance parameters.
(5) IBM
IBM’s ACS silver series products comply with ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6/Class E standard draft, EN 50173 Category 6 Class E standard draft and TIA/EIA 568 Draft standards for six categories. The ACS Silver Series has a bandwidth of 200MHz and can better support Gigabit Ethernet and other networks that use 4 pairs of cables.
