CAT5 / 6 cable manufacturing process.

How to choose the machine required for CAT5 / 6 cable?

CAT5/6 wire

1. What is the CAT5 cable?
Category 5 line was born with 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, but with the development of network technology, the physical layer transmission protocol 1000Base-T based on Category 5 line makes

Category 5 cables also have Gigabit Ethernet (1,000,000,000 bit / s) transmission capabilities. This technology achieves a smooth transition from 100M to Gigabit while retaining the original cables. Therefore, after the five types of lines are automatically negotiated by the devices at both ends, the 100MHz operating frequency can bear different speeds of Ethernet under the technologies of 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet). Transmission media. In order to ensure the transmission quality, the transmission distance of Category 5 cables is generally within 100 meters.

2. What kind of machine does CAT5 / 6 need?

Two types of machines are needed to produce this type of wire. First, extrusion equipment, such as 30 + 30 or 50 + 30 extruder, this machine mainly produces CAT5 / 6 inner insulation layer. His colors mainly include green and white, green, orange and white, blue, blue and white, orange, brown and white, and brown. The outermost insulation layer is fully capable of using a 90/25 extruder.

The second type is twisted wire equipment, such as cantilever single twister and twisted twister, while twisted twister is equipped with a twisting machine.
The twisted-pair machine is mainly used for twisting inner-layer insulated wires and twisting two single-layer insulated wires into one. The main purpose of the single twister is to twist 8 inner insulated wires together. Because of production needs, generally four twisted pair machines combined with a single twisted pair can meet daily production.

3. After the twisting is completed, some small equipment is generally required to complete the functions of packaging and rewinding. The products are relatively ordinary, and I will not introduce them one by one. It should be noted that, due to the structural characteristics when twisting, the single twister must have a strapping function, and an additional cross wire holder is added. Also, the twisted intercept requirements of each country are different. The different twisted intercepts affect the signal transmission function. Please check the data with the supplier carefully.
