There are several key differences between the dual-shielded and unshielded versions of the Super 6 network cable, which are mainly reflected in the shielding method, use case, tranSMission performance, and other characteristics. Here is a detailed comparison of the two:
Shielding method
Dual shielded network cable: with aluminum foil and braided double shielding layer. This design provides a higher electromagnetic shielding effect and can more effectively resist external electromagnetic interference.
Unshielded network cable: Consists of only 8 wires of different colors, without aluminum foil and braided shielding. It relies on its own stranded structure and material to reduce electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation.
Second, the use of occasions
Double shielded network cable: suitable for occasions with high requirements for network stability and security, such as hospitals, financial end point equipment, etc. These places usually have more sources of electromagnetic interference and require higher shielding effect to ensure the stable transmission of network signals.
Unshielded network cable: It is commonly used in ordinary network environments such as homes, offices, and buildings. In these occasions, the network signal is relatively less disturbed, so unshielded network cables can usually meet the needs.
III. Transmission performance
Dual shielded network cable: Due to the dual shielding layer, the dual shielded network cable is usually better in transmission performance than the unshielded network cable. It can provide higher transmission rate and stability to ensure the integrity and accuracy of data during transmission.
Unshielded network cable: Although unshielded network cable may be slightly inferior to dual shielded network cable in transmission performance, it can still provide good enough transmission performance in ordinary network environments to meet the needs of most network applications.
IV. Other characteristics
Double shielded network cable:
High anti-electromagnetic interference: through double-layer shielding design, it can effectively resist external electromagnetic interference.
Good confidentiality: The design of the shielding layer can also enhance the confidentiality of data transmission and prevent information leakage.
Wiring requirements: Special attention needs to be paid to the continuity and integrity of the shielding layer when wiring, and the accessories in the wiring system also need to have shielding properties.
Unshielded network cable:
Strong anti-interference ability: the use of advanced stranded wire structures and materials can effectively reduce electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation.
Long transmission distance: Compared with other types of network cables, unshielded network cables have a longer transmission distance.
Flexibility: Soft material and flexible stranded structure, easy to bend and install.
Good compatibility: Compatible with existing Category 5 and Super Category 5 network devices, making it convenient for users to upgrade and expand.
In summary, there are significant differences between Super 6 dual-shielded network cables and unshielded network cables in shielding methods, usage scenarios, transmission performance, and other characteristics. When selecting, comprehensive consideration should be made according to specific needs and scenarios to ensure that the most suitable network cable type is selected.
