Belden IBDN has developed a high-performance cabling system that can operate normally above 40℃, and officially launched the IBDN 4800LX system at the end of 1999. Its final index reaches 300MHz bandwidth, and it can still reach the standard 20 specified by category 6 at 50℃. ℃ performance index. In order to distinguish it from the common Category 6 wiring system, this kind of wiring with bandwidth performance far exceeding Category 6 is called Category Super 6.
Difference and use
Most of the Super Category 6 wiring uses the same modules and jumpers as the Category 6 wiring of the same brand, so the main difference between them is the cable. IBDN's Super Category 6 cable 4800LX was set to operate normally at a higher temperature from the beginning. Therefore, one of the characteristics of its cable structure is the large wire diameter. The diameter of the transmission conductor is 0.5mm (24AWG) from the ordinary Category 6 Increased to 0.6mm (23AWG); some manufacturers used 24AWG in the beginning of Category 6 cables and tried their best to improve the NEXT method, but in 2002 the improved cable added its wire diameter to 23AWG. Another feature is that a cross-shaped pair divider is added between the 4 twisted pairs. Without cross separation, a pair of wires in the cable may be trapped in the gap between the two wires of the other pair, and the distance between the pairs is reduced, which aggravates the crosstalk problem. At the same time, the divider and the outer skin of the cable tightly fix the 4 pairs of wires in their designed positions, and can reduce the looseness of the wire pairs caused by the bending of the cable, thereby reducing the performance degradation during installation. The 4800LX is the first Super Category 6 cable with a cross divider, and later cable groups followed suit and adopted similar technologies.
