Legrand LAN Computer Network Cables – Future-Proof Wiring for Data Networks
Legrand Ethernet Cables – Performance You Can Rely On
The Legrand ethernet cables portfolio spans copper twisted-pair systems designed for high data rates (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A) and is built with consistent brand quality. For instance, a Legrand Cat6 F/UTP cable is rated for Class EA performance up to 500 MHz and compatible with PoE++ (Type 4) applications.
In a procurement context: specifying Legrand Ethernet cables means you’ll get consistent labelling (brand, category, pairs, gauge, jacket type) that aids traceability and future upgrades.
Legrand Cat5e / Cat6 – Choose Based on Performance vs Budget
The terms Cat5e and Cat6 often appear, and the difference is real: Cat6 has tighter specifications, improved NEXT, and supports higher frequencies—important when you plan for 10 Gb/s or PoE++.
Legrand offers both Cat5e and Cat6 variants. While Cat5e may suffice for general office wiring now, choosing Cat6 gives you more headroom for future network evolutions.
Legrand Patch Cords – End-to-End Brand Consistency
Patch cords finish the data link from wall jack to device; the Legrand patch cords category ensures the final segment is brand matched. This reduces mismatch risk (cable grade vs patch cord grade) and simplifies inventory (same brand across bulk and patch).
For example: Legrand supplies Cat5e patch cables that meet UL verification and support high speeds.
Legrand Structured Network Wiring – System Thinking for Infrastructure
Rather than wiring being an after-thought, the Legrand structured network wiring concept integrates cables, termination, pathways and connectivity under one brand. Materials specify compliance with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173 series.
This system-level approach helps large projects: fewer vendors, standardised components, simpler documentation, and easier maintenance across floors or buildings.
Practical Specifier Notes & Buyer Checklist
- Category & performance: Opt for Cat6 if you want future-proofing; Cat5e may be fine for standard office use. Check attenuation, NEXT and bandwidth specs.
- Jacket & environment: Use LSZH jackets where fire safety is critical; PVC may suffice for less constrained spaces.
- Cable type & shielding: Understand whether U/UTP (unshielded) or F/UTP (foil shield) is needed depending on interference and environment. Legrand’s spec sheet shows F/UTP for Cat6.
- Patch cord vs bulk cable: Make sure patch cords are the same brand and category as your bulk cable to avoid downgraded performance.
- System compatibility: Wiring is part of the larger network—connectivity modules, jacks, patch panels should match the cable category and brand.
- Logistics & spares: Using one brand (Legrand) across cables and connectivity reduces SKUs and simplifies future maintenance or expansions.
- Common mistakes: Mixing brands or categories (e.g., Cat5e cable with Cat6 jack) downgrades performance; choosing wrong jacket type may breach fire codes or void warranties.
