Regarding the Category 6 network cable, I think there are still many questions for many friends. For example, why the Category 6 network cable has a cross skeleton often confuses us. In fact, the cross skeleton has a certain role. Why do you say that? What are the precautions for class wiring? Let's take a look at these questions.


ZR Cable six types of wiring

1. What are the precautions for Category 6 wiring

1: During the whole construction period, the technological process should be notified in time, and the various project leaders of the building should communicate in time, and notify Party A immediately if any problems are found, and complete the tasks of this type of work in time before the start of other follow-up types of work.


2: Since the outer diameter of the Category 6 cable is thicker than that of the general Category 5 cable, in order to avoid the entanglement of the cable (especially at the elbow), the filling degree of the pipe diameter must be paid attention to when designing the pipeline, and the inner diameter is generally 20mm. It is advisable to put 2 Category 6 wires in the line pipe.

3: The design of the bridge frame is reasonable to ensure the proper bending radius of the cable. When bypassing other wire grooves up, down, left, and right, the turning slope should be gentle. Pay attention to whether the cable at both ends can still be covered with the cover plate after the cables are sagging and stressed.


4: During the pay-off process, attention should be paid to the control of the pulling force. For the cable packaged with reel, it is recommended to arrange at least one worker at each end to put the reel on the self-made wire rod, and the worker at the pay-off end starts from the reel box Pre-pull out a part of the cable for the collaborator to extract at the other end of the pipeline. The pre-pulled wire should not be too much, so as to avoid multiple wires tangled and surrounded on the field.


5: After the wire drawing process, the redundant cables left at both ends should be organized and protected. When coiling the wire, it should follow the original direction of rotation. The diameter of the coil should not be too small. If possible, use waste wire to fix it on the bridge frame and ceiling. On the top or in the carton, make a mark to remind other people not to move or step on it.


6: When arranging, bundling, and arranging cables, the redundant cables should not be too long, and do not allow the cables to be superimposed under stress.


2. Why does Category 6 wiring have a cross skeleton?

Category 6 network cables place four pairs of wire cores in the four grooves of the cross skeleton, and make the diameter of the cable thicker. The cross skeleton in the center of the six types of network cables rotates with the change of length, and the four pairs of twisted pairs are stuck in the grooves of the skeleton to maintain the position of the four pairs of cables. Crosstalk, improve the balance characteristics of the cable, and the center cross isolation of the six types of network cables ensures NEXT performance and reasonable construction bending radius.


Of course, it doesn't mean that all Cat6 cables have cross skeletons, but most manufacturers can't produce CAT6 network cables that meet the standards if they do not have cross skeletons. It is not possible to judge whether it is a Category 6 network cable by whether there is a cross skeleton.
