Premium quality dual-mode cables

and, not least, for the remote supply of power to end devices (Power over Ethernet, eg PoE+). This gives the user the best possible flexibility, saves resources and cuts installation costs. In addition to the dual-mode cables, shielded modules of at least category 6A (RJ45 and PS-GG45) and Dätwyler’s new RJ45-IEC adapter are needed to allow the use of a single standard cabling system for every type of transmission and service including cable television. One of these adapters takes care of the supply of coaxial services to the data network at the patch panel, the other is plugged into the data socket to allow TV sets to be connected. The adapter transmits using common mode and provides an IEC connector as the usual physical interface. Dätwyler Cabling Solutions – Germany Website : www.cabling.datwyler.com

A HIGH-PERFORMANCE copper data network can be used for voice and data transmission, for the remote supply of power to end devices, and even for digital cable television. Dätwyler has introduced its universally applicable ‘dual-mode’ cables and the new RJ45-IEC adapter – a solution which fits the bill, giving the user the ultimate in flexibility and at the same time saving money and resources. Unlike most commercially available copper data cables, Dätwyler’s high-performance category 7A data cables – types CU 7150 4P and CU 7120 4P, for example – allow two different modes of transmission: ‘differential mode’ for symmetrical signal transmission and ‘common mode’ for coaxial signal transmission. These dual-mode cables are therefore universally suitable for transmitting speech, for the transmission of data at a rate of up to 10 gigabits per second (10GBit/s), of BC signals for digital cable TV up to 862 megahertz

❍ The dual-mode cables from Dätwyler Family expansion from Solvay

Solvay Specialty Polymers has expanded its family of Cogegum ® cross-linkable, halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) compounds for cable jacketing for the railway, shipboard, industrial, and oil and gas industries. The new polyolefin grade, Cogegum ® GFR 380, is claimed to deliver greater flexibility and superior flame resistance compared to competitive silane-grafted HFFR materials.
