Decode the Datasheet
Every cable ships with a spec sheet. Here are the parameters that actually matter:
- Conductor gauge (AWG) — thicker = lower loss, better PoE
- Insulation/jacket material — PVC vs LSZH vs PE (outdoor)
- Shielding — UTP/FTP/SFTP and when you need it
- Temperature rating — ensures safe install conditions
- Standard — TIA-568, ISO/IEC, or EN compliance
When in doubt, ask our engineers to walk you through it.
