We currently carry four varieties of network cables for our customers at Affordix. Read about them below:
Category 5 and Cat 5e
For several years, Cat 5e has been the standard for data networks. With transport speeds up to 100 Mbits/s, Cat 5e cabling provides outstanding service and is an affordable option for most data network infrastructures. Cat 5e replaced Cat 5 as a standard in 2001. The most common applications are 100BASE-T or common data networks and the increasingly popular VOIP systems. With 100Mbit/s capacity, Cat 5e is the most common cable of choice used today.
Category 6 and Category 7
Cat 6 is a cable standard for gigabit ethernet. As network administrators are pushing their networks to higher levels of performance, Cat 6 is a desirable alternative to Cat 5e, with speeds 10 times as fast. Cat 7 is a communications cable with four twisted copper pairs. While also having the same distance limitation of 90 m for horizontal runs as previous copper standards, Cat 7 cable meets even more stringent specifications for both crosstalk and system noise.
Coaxial and Video Cabling
Coaxial cable is typically used for video transmission or high-speed data applications. It has both an inner conductor and an outer conductor through which it carries its signal. There are many coaxial cable types, but the most common types in commercial applications for video service, video surveillance, or high-speed networks are RG-6 and RG-59. For video applications, it is essential to choose a coax cable that is of the 75 ohm type. Some 50-ohm coax cables are suitable for data networks but are not sufficient for video transmission.
Fiber Optic Cabling and Connectors
Fiber offers the top speeds and reliability that sophisticated networks require. We recommend using fiber for high-speed applications, connecting networks, MDFs to IDFs, building-to-building connections, or for cable runs over the 90 m distance limitation of standard copper cables like Cat 5e or Cat 6. Fiber optic cables are made from one or more optical fibers, which are encased in a protective plastic coating to transmit data signals with light pulses. It's an effective way to carry large amounts of data with minimal signal loss and increased speed.
