Realise Power over Ethernet with the Draka Universal Cabling System

As construction increasingly looks to create ‘smart buildings’ to offer health, wellbeing and convenience benefits to occupants, upping the ‘intelligence’ of physical spaces is accelerating.

 

For installers to remain competitive in this rapidly evolving situation, being able to offer an immediately deployable solution is vital.

 

Crucially, many Internet of Things (IoT) devices can now be powered within the 72 watts defined by IEEE 802.3bt —leading to the recent exponential growth in the requirement for stated Power over Ethernet (PoE) performance from copper cables.

 

Cat6a is the de-facto PoE cabling infrastructure and core architecture of digital buildings. It carries electrical power to any device on a network, with no telecommunication outlet or patch cord needed, powering Wireless Access Points, Door Entry, CCTV and wellbeing sensors.

 

Recognising this, Draka has now launched the new modular Cat6a STP Field Termination Plug, especially for PoE application, making the Draka Universal Cabling System now fully PoE++ compliant in all structured cabling designs.

 

It’s available through the existing Draka distribution network, and by including it within electrical designs, Draka partners will be covered by the 25-year Prysmian Group Warranty.
