What is the difference between the thickness of conductor for the network cable?

The thickness of the Network Cable is different, and the usage scenarios are different. Generally, the thick network cable is an outdoor cable with light signal attenuation and is suitable for long-distance transmission. It is not afraid of wind and general sunlight, is resistant to aging, and is expensive. The thin network cable is for indoor use, and there is no network wind and sunlight catching, and the production is relatively simple and clear. The network cable is up to the standard, so that the transmission can be guaranteed. Our project uses the network jumper Kaikai here to be general.

The classification of network cable conductor specifications is still related to the thickness of the core conductor. Generally, it is expressed by AWG, 23AWG/24AWG/26AWG. For example, the super five network cables are generally divided into three specifications of 0.4/0.45/0.5, and the six types of network cables are generally divided into three specifications. For 0.52/0.56/0.58 etc. Because of the price competition on the market, the actual cores of the network cables of different manufacturers and brands are different. For example, the 0.4 network cable specification may actually be about 0.36mm/0.38mm/0.39mm/0.4mm, but some manufacturers cut corners and may achieve 0.31mm.

How are the specifications of the network cable produced by the network cable manufacturer divided?
The 0.45 network cable specification is generally about 0.41-0.43mm, and the total copper 0.5 is generally about 0.45-0.47. Oxygen-free copper non-standard 0.5 is generally around 0.46-0.48. The national standard 0.5mm is 0.5mm, and the standard core of the national standard six network cable should be 0.58.

The reason why the network cable is divided into multiple specifications is to reduce costs and fight for market share from the price. Therefore, when buying, do not buy from the price alone, but compare the copper core material, copper core size and wire Leather material, number of meters.

There are many specifications for network cables, such as Category 5e shielded network cables. Unshielded network cable, Category 6 unshielded, shielded network cable, etc., as well as Category 7 network cable. Which network cable you use depends on your needs. Home improvement usually uses Category 5 cable. The price and performance are good.
