3.1 Cabling recommendations
Clear-Com recommends the following cabling.
Clear-Com CAT5e/6a cable recommendations
Category (CAT)
Higher CAT numbers will support a higher bandwidth.
Therefore, by using a higher CAT number, you are future
proofing your system to some extent.
Example:
• Cat5: up to 1G
• Cat6a: up to 10G.
Use CAT5e or higher.
American Wire
Guage (AWG)
The lower the AWG number, the less temperature rise
there will be in the cable when using PoE. This is
particularly important for bundles. Local building
regulations may rule out the use of 26AWG or higher,
depending on the installation. Check with your local
building regulations.
Use AWG 24 or lower.
Shielded Twisted
Pair (STP) or
Foiled Twisted
Pair (FTP)
Using shielded cable means less problems with interference
from other sources. This means that your network will be
more robust if you use shielded cables.
Overall
Recommendation
Use CAT6a 23 AWG STP cable.
