Datwyler is announcing the Uninet 7150 4P, a future-proof cat7 (and higher) data cable offering bandwidth reserves of up to 1500MHz, double shielding (PiMF) and a very robust design.

Datwyler is announcing the Uninet 7150 4P, a future-proof cat7 (and higher) data cable offering bandwidth reserves of up to 1500MHz, double shielding (PiMF) and a very robust design.

The new twisted-pair cable is compatible with every standard connector system and has been optimised for the transmission of broadband cable TV signals.

It is suitable not only for all applications up to class F but also for multimedia applications.

In addition, the new AWG-22 cable enables the simultaneous transmission of two communication services such as data, voice and TV transmissions over Ethernet (via cable sharing).

Its electrical and mechanical features exceed all existing international standards as well as EMV and CATV requirements (862 MHz).

Uninet 7150 has a halogen-free, flame-retardant FRNC/LSOH sheathing guaranteeing highest safety in the event of a fire.

It also fulfils the RoHS guideline, which will be effective from July 2006, and according to which no materials containing lead or heavy metal are allowed.

Datwyler gives a 20-year warranty for the multimedia cable when used within a Unilan Prime Solution (class F), Compact- or Modular Solution (class E).

With a diameter of only 7.8mm, the Uninet 7150 4P is one of the thinnest cat7 PiMF cables on the market, allowing for a high packing density in the cable channel and a small bending radius of 32 mm installed.

Due to the combination of foil sheathing and a tinned copper braid screen, the cable offers high Next reserves up to 1200MHz.

Therefore the Uninet 7150 4P is especially suitable for cable sharing.

In addition, even with TV frequencies, a positive ACR (difference between Next and attenuation) can be achieved: for example, at 800MHz more than 47dB.

Thanks to a sophisticated and optimised cable design, the highest insulation characteristics (EMV coupling attenuation) for CATV can be achieved.

The excellent insulation effect prevents interference from external sources.

Due to its design, the materials used and the special production process, the cable has a very low delay skew.

The Uninet 7150 is extremely resistant to mechanical influences.

It was tested for its reaction to tension, impact, hammer strokes and lateral pressure and was able to exceed all standard values, for example three hammer strokes, in this field by far.

Therefore it can be guaranteed that the electrical values of the PiMF cable - usually reacting extremely sensitive to lateral pressure and impact effects - can be sustained without restriction.

Datwyler has also simplified the handling of the wires as they now have longitudinal coloured stripes and can be easily distinguished from each other.

"This cable offers highest bandwidth reserves, an extraordinary mechanical stability, excellent safety features, and is also very environmentally friendly.

"In this respect, it is the ideal cable not only for all requirements today, but also for the high end data world of tomorrow", says Graham Small, sales director at Datwyler UK.
