There are many types of network cables, which can be divided into indoor network cable and outdoor network cables according to the usage environment. It can be divided into ordinary civilian Ethernet cables and industrial grade cabos Ethernet de alta flexibilidade according to their usage purposes.

What is indoor network cable?

1. Indoor ethernet cable: mainly used for indoor environment wiring, with soft cable skin and strong tensile strength.

2. Indoor network cable structure: CAT5E indoor network cable only has one layer of PVC outer sheath+4 pairs of twisted pair wires+one tensile rope. CAT6 indoor network cable will have an additional white cross frame (the white cross frame inside the cable is not the only basis for determining whether it is a Category 6 cable, but mainly depends on whether it can meet the Category 6 standard)

3. Function of indoor network cable: The indoor network cable only has one layer of PVC outer skin, mainly for the purpose of meeting the wiring requirements of multi sided corners and multiple bends in indoor environments, while maintaining the best flexibility.

What is an cabo Ethernet externo?

1. Outdoor network cable: mainly used for outdoor environment wiring, with a thick outer layer and strong tensile and compressive properties.

2. Outdoor Ethernet cable structure: The outdoor cabo ethernet flexível has two layers of outer skin, the outer layer is black waterproof PE skin, and the inner layer is PVC inner skin+4 pairs of twisted pair wires+one tensile rope. Six types of outdoor network cables also have an additional white cross skeleton.

3. The function of outdoor network cable: The characteristic of outdoor network cable is the outer layer of black PE waterproof skin and the inner layer of PVC skin. It is mainly designed to adapt to the changing outdoor environment, playing the roles of waterproof, sun protection, tensile and compressive resistance. When wiring outdoors, it is not easy to break the outer skin and protect the copper core.

The difference between indoor and outdoor network cable

The main difference between indoor Ethernet cables and outdoor Ethernet cables is not only in their structure, but also in their functions. Relatively speaking, the wear resistance, tensile and compressive performance of outdoor cabo ethernet flexível​ is better than that of indoor cabo ethernet flexível, mainly because wiring outdoors is much more difficult than wiring indoors.

The actual transmission distance of indoor Ethernet cables and outdoor flexible Ethernet cables with the same conductor material is similar. For example, a 0.48 oxygen free copper indoor cable and a 0.48 oxygen free copper outdoor cable have similar resistance when tested at 300 meters. Generally, the resistance fluctuates between 28 ohms and 33 ohms (which is a normal deviation). A 0.48 oxygen free copper cable can transmit about 120 meters.

In addition to using a double-layer sheath structure, outdoor Ethernet cables also have a single-layer sheath structure with a PUR outer sheath. Cabo Ethernet PUR can be used outdoors for waterproofing, UV resistance, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, and oil resistance.

Outdoor use of network cable requires the use of industrial waterproof aviation network connectors (IP67/IP68) or outdoor waterproof crystal heads+waterproof junction boxes
