The assemblies consist of twisted-pair copper cables terminated with RJ-45 or other connector styles, pre-assembled and tested to ensure optimal signal integrity and easy installation. At Magicmak, ethernet cables are usually assembled together with other cable assemblies to make customized composite cables.
Standard Categories:
- Cat5e (Enhanced Category 5) – Offers speeds up to 1 Gbps over 100 meters with 100 MHz bandwidth. A cost-effective and flexible choice for typical home and office networks.
- Cat6 (Category 6) – Supports up to 1 Gbps at 100 m and 10 Gbps at distances up to ~55 m. Operates at 250 MHz bandwidth with tighter twists and optional shielding for reduced interference.
- Cat6a (Augmented Category 6) – Delivers full 10 Gbps throughput over the full 100 m distance, at 500 MHz. Enhanced shielding minimizes crosstalk and EMI-ideal for high-demand environments.
Key Features:
- Factory assembled and tested for insertion loss, crosstalk, and signal performance
- Available in UTP, STP, FTP, or individual shielded pair configurations based on EMI requirements.
- Custom lengths, connector types, and office-friendly or ruggedized jackets
- Options include strain-relief boots, factory-labeled ends, and flexible stranded vs. solid core conductors
Typical Applications:
- Enterprise LANs, office networks, and corporate infrastructure
- Data center interconnects and server-to-switch trunking
- Industrial environments or locations subject to electrical noise or interference. Gaming, video conferencing, and high-bandwidth streaming
- Future-proof installations planning for multi-gigabit or high-density deployments
