The differences between the six types of shielded network cables

Update Time:2025-04-25Traffic:

  The six types of shielded network Cables play an iMPOrtant role in network wiring, and there are certain differences between their various types. These differences are mainly reflected in shielding methods, structural characteristics, usage occasions, and tranSMission performance. The following is a detailed description of the various differences between the six types of shielded network cables:


  First, the difference between shielding methods


  Single shield:


  Shielding layer: generally aluminum foil single-layer shielding.


  Structural features: A layer of aluminum foil is wrapped around the core wire to effectively shield it from external electromagnetic interference.


  Double shield:


  Shielding layer: with aluminum foil and braided double shielding.


  Structural features: On the basis of aluminum foil shielding, a layer of tinned copper woven mesh is added to provide more advanced anti-interference performance.


  II. Differences in structural characteristics


  Six types of unshielded network cables:

  Structure: Generally, there is no metal shielding material, only a layer of insulating rubber wrapping.

  Features: Small diameter, space saving, relatively light weight, easier to install, independence and Flexibility.


  Six types of single-shielded network cables:


  Structure: A layer of aluminum foil is wrapped around the core wire.


  Features: The shielding layer can effectively reduce the impact of external electromagnetic interference on data transmission and maintain the Stability of the transmission network.


  Six types of dual-shielded network cables:


  Structure: aluminum foil shielding plus braided shielding.


  Features: Due to the addition of a layer of tinned copper braided mesh, the interference of external magnetic field signals can be greatly reduced, and the attenuation of internal signals can also be reduced, increasing the tension of the cable.


  III. Differences in use occasions


  Six types of unshielded network cables:

  Use occasions: It is often used in ordinary network environments such as homes, offices, and buildings.


  Six types of single-shielded network cables:


  Usage scenarios: Suitable for applications that require certain network performance, such as small and medium-sized data centers, enterprise networks, etc.


  Six types of dual-shielded network cables:


  Use occasions: suitable for high-demand network environments, such as hospitals, financial end point equipment, etc., and occasions that require high anti-interference performance.


  IV. Differences in transmission performance


  Six types of unshielded network cables:


  Transmission performance: Although it meets the six standards, it may be slightly inferior to the shielded network cable in terms of transmission rate and stability.


  Six types of single-shielded network cables:


  Transmission performance: Due to the single-layer aluminum foil shield, the transmission performance is better than that of unshielded network cables, with higher transmission rate and stability.


  Six types of dual-shielded network cables:


  Transmission performance: Due to the dual shielding layer, the transmission performance is the best, with higher transmission rates and better stability.

  In summary, there are significant differences between the six types of shielded network cables in terms of shielding methods, structural characteristics, usage scenarios, and transmission performance. When selecting, users should comprehensively consider according to specific needs and scenarios to choose the most suitable network cable type.
