Is the flat network cable working well? What's the difference between a flat network cable and a round network cable?

Whether it is for daily office work, video entertainment or online education, the Internet has penetrated into every aspect of our lives.As the transmission carrier of network signal, Network Cable is widely used in home decoration wiring, network center, building wiring and other fields.At the moment, there are round network cable and Flat Network Cable, so what's the difference between flat network cable and the round network cable?
1, structure,
Structurally, the inner core of a flat network line is straight and adjacent to each other. A round cable has two pairs of wires, four pairs next to each other.Flat wire is more flexible than round wire.
2. Different appearance and line diameter

The circular wire is a traditional wire with a diameter of about 6mm, the Flat Cable diameter is 1.5*6.0mm for cat6 flat network cable.

3. Transmission effect
In the short distance transmission, the flat ordinary network cable and the ordinary round network cable transmission effect is similar, but the cable diameter of the flat network cable is thinner than the round network cable, and the wire to wire winding is relatively thin, the anti-interference ability is poor, the round network cable in the remote signal transmission.
4. wire core
The twisted distance of the ordinary round network cable is relatively dense, while the core of the flat network cable is thinner than that of the ordinary cable, and the mutual winding degree between the wire and the wire is relatively loose.
5. Wiring and application
The flat wire is thin and soft, which can walk in the corner of the home accurately and easily hide in the narrow space such as carpet/door gap, suitable for the connection between devices.
However, the flat network cable on the market only has the jumper with crystal head, no box wire, not suitable for large range wiring.
The circular network wire is thicker, not easy to turn, but there are jumper and box wire choice, convenient for engineering wiring.It should be noted that the wiring should be paid attention to the protection of the line, to avoid extrusion, break or dead Angle.
I believe that we have some understanding of the difference between flat wire and round wire.The advantages and disadvantages of a network cable determines the upper limit of the transmission rate of the connected equipment at both ends of the network cable, so we must remember you not to be careless when choosing a network cable!
