Norden CAT6 U/UTP 23 AWG E Series PVC Cable, Grey, 100 m

Overview

The Norden CAT6 U/UTP 23 AWG E Series PVC cable in grey is the 100 m length of Norden’s Category 6 installation cable, for small indoor jobs such as a few IP cameras, a home office or one floor of outlets, where a full 305 m box would be left over. It has four pairs of 23 AWG (American Wire Gauge) solid bare copper conductors, high density polyethylene insulation and a grey PVC (polyvinyl chloride) jacket, and it runs inside walls, ceilings and trunking from the patch panel to each outlet, camera or access point.

Is it right for you?

• Choose it for fixed indoor runs that end on a patch panel or keystone jack; solid conductors are made for that, not for leads that get plugged and unplugged.
• Choose the 100 m length when the job is small. For larger jobs, the 305 m box of the same cable (113-40001104X) leaves fewer part reels.
• 23 AWG solid conductors suit Power over Ethernet (PoE) runs to cameras and access points.
• Indoor use only. For outdoor routes, choose an outdoor or double jacket cable.

Key features

• Category 6 to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, ISO/IEC 11801 Class E and IEC 61156-5, tested to 250 MHz.
• Supports PoE to IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at, so cameras and access points can be powered down the same cable.
• Four pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper, 100 Ω impedance and 93.8 Ω/km DC resistance.
• Grey PVC jacket with an outer diameter of 6.2 mm, which decides how many cables fit a conduit.
• Bend radius of 4 times the outer diameter, so it turns fairly tight corners in trunking.
• Rated for -20 to 75 °C.

What else you need

• Category 6 keystone jacks or a punch-down patch panel rated for 22 to 26 AWG solid conductors at each end, plus patch cords from the panel to the switch and from the outlet to the device.
• A punch-down tool for termination, and a cable tester to certify each link.
• A PoE switch or network video recorder (NVR) if devices are to be powered over the cable.

Installation

A network or CCTV installer should pull and terminate it. Keep each channel within 100 m including patch cords, respect the bend radius of 4 times the outer diameter, and terminate on Category 6 jacks or panels rated for 22 to 26 AWG solid conductors.

Before you buy

• Indoor use only. For outdoor routes, choose an outdoor or double jacket cable.
• For larger jobs, the 305 m box (113-40001104X) of the same cable leaves fewer part reels.
• Packing is confirmed with your order.
