Cable Category (Cat5 vs Cat6) | Home networking, Small offices | Industry Standard: Cat5e (1000 Mbps, 100 MHz) Our Base: Cat5 (10/100 Mbps, 100 MHz) Our Advanced: Cat6 (10 Gbps, 250 MHz)▲▲▲ | ▲▲▲ Cat6: Supports 10 Gbps speeds up to 55m (vs Cat5’s 100 Mbps) Industry Standard: Affordable for basic needs | ▲▲▲ Cat6: Thicker, bulkier than Cat5 Cat5: Limited to 100 Mbps |
Shielding Type (UTP vs FTP) | Industrial environments, Data centers | Industry Standard: UTP (20 dB interference reduction) Our Base: UTP (ISO/IEC 11801 compliance) Our Advanced: FTP (45 dB interference reduction)▲▲▲ | ▲▲▲ FTP: Blocks 95% external noise (ideal for high-interference areas) Industry Standard: Lightweight and cost-effective | ▲▲▲ FTP: Heavier, less flexible UTP: Susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) |
Conductor Material (CCA vs Cu) | High-flex environments, Outdoor use | Industry Standard: CCA (0.5 mm² cross-section) Our Base: CCA (lightweight) Our Advanced: Copper (0.6 mm² cross-section)▲▲ | ▲▲ Copper: 30% lower resistance (better signal integrity) Industry Standard: 40% cheaper than copper | ▲▲ Copper: 20% heavier than CCA CCA: Risk of corrosion in humid conditions |
Jacket Material (PVC vs HDPE) | Commercial buildings, Harsh environments | Industry Standard: PVC (flame resistance UL 94 V-0) Our Base: PVC (meets ISO 3320) Our Advanced: HDPE (chemical resistance ASTM D543)▲ | ▲ HDPE: Withstands -40°C to 80°C (vs PVC’s -15°C to 60°C) Industry Standard: Widely adopted for fire safety | ▲ HDPE: Less flexible than PVC PVC: Emits toxic fumes when burned |
Certifications (CE vs RoHS) | Global compliance, Healthcare facilities | Industry Standard: CE (EU safety) Our Base: CE + RoHS (lead-free) Our Advanced: CE + RoHS + UL (US safety)▲▲ | ▲▲ UL Certified: Meets stricter US safety standards (e.g., 10,000-hour burn test) Industry Standard: Basic regulatory compliance | ▲▲ UL: Higher cost due to testing CE: No guarantee of US/EU compatibility |
Length Options (1m–10m) | Home offices, Data centers | Industry Standard: 1m–5m (common for desks) Our Base: 1m–3m (compact) Our Advanced: 5m–10m▲▲ (long-reach) | ▲▲ Longer lengths: Ideal for connecting distant devices (e.g., server racks) Industry Standard: Balances cost and usability | ▲▲ Longer cables: Higher risk of signal loss over 5m (use Cat6 for 10m) |
