2.01 VOICE AND DATA CABLE

Voice and Data Cable shall be 4 pair cable Category 6A F1/UTP to meet the quality and

performance criteria necessary to ensure correct operation of the installation for frequencies

up to 500 MHz and to ensure the compliance with the warranty.

The installation design and routing of all cables shall take account of the manufacturer limits for the continued performance of the cables and the compliance with the warranty. The cable shall be a 4 twisted pair cable with AWG 23 plain copper conductors and shall have an external sheathing in a material that does not give off toxic fumes (Zero Halogen) in case of fire and offer flame propagation retardant properties. The cable shall be compliant to the IEC 60332-1 standard. Traceability numbers should accompany the cable supplied from the manufacturers packaging to assist in quality validation of the installed cable. In order to provide alien cross-talk (AXT) immunity for 10 GBASE-T Ethernet transmission, the use of screened cable is mandatory.

Independent certification shall be provided by the manufacturer to show compliance to

ISO/IEC 11801:2011 or EN 50173:20112 Channel headroom requirements for both Alien

NEXT (A-NEXT) and Alien FEXT (A-FEXT) parameters.

In the construction of the cable NEXT performance shall be maintained using a C (Central dielectric Cross-talk Cancellation) member set between the 4 pairs. All pairs must have a fitted impedance of 100 Ohms, with a tolerance of +/- 5 Ohms.

Conductor pairs shall be identified by insulation utilising standardised colour code (Blue/White,

Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White). The cable shall contain 1 foil screen. The foil shall have the metallic side facing outwards, allowing the cable to be automatically grounded during the termination process without having to fold back the foil. This will provide instant 360 grounding contact to ensure immunity from Alien Crosstalk and other external interference. A tinned copper drain wire, shall be provided between the aluminium screen and the external sheathing. The Cat.6A cable shall comply to the following electrical performances. Max. And Min. Values shall be warranted by the manufacturer.
