Project teams use Scame low-voltage cabling when they need predictable performance across offices, schools, logistics halls, and mixed-use sites. The range covers balanced 100 Ω copper pairs for 10/100/1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T, plus optical links where floor-to-floor latency or EMC margins demand fiber. CPR options run from Eca to B2ca s1a d1 a1 for public interiors. Installers get consistent OD ranges that fit the same glands and conduits used with Scame enclosures, so routing stays routine and terminations remain repeatable.
Copper families are organised by category and shielding.
Cat5e U/UTP is the workhorse for voice and legacy data. Cat6 U/UTP and F/UTP improve near-end crosstalk for dense outlet fields and short 2.5G/5G BASE-T runs. Cat6A U/FTP and F/FTP handle 10 GbE up to 100 m with strong alien-crosstalk control in bundles. Solid 23 AWG conductors are standard for permanent links; flexible 26–28 AWG cords cover equipment and work-area patching. For risers and long horizontals near drives or radio systems, shielded constructions with foil on each pair stabilise balance and EMI immunity.
All balanced pairs are 100 Ω with controlled lay lengths for stable impedance and return loss. Nominal velocity of propagation sits around 67–78 %, which matters for channel skew when mixing patch lengths. Jackets are PVC or LSZH; LSZH is the default for occupied spaces and evacuation routes. Keep bend radius ≥8×OD during pull and ≥4×OD once dressed. Where ceiling grids run warm or bundles carry Power over Ethernet, specify constructions tested for PoE Type 3/4 to limit temperature rise.
Design to ISO/IEC 11801-1 and EN 50173 with a 90 m permanent link plus up to 10 m of patching. Maintain separation from power per EN 50174-2: use segregated pathways or partitions; when unshielded pairs share a tray, keep distance and cross at 90° if paths must meet. For PoE to IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, verify conductor gauge and bundle size; Cat6A with larger copper and tighter twist holds voltage drop and insertion loss inside limits on 90 m links. Label outlets and panels to TIA-606-B for clean MAC moves.
Electrical: 100 Ω ± 15 Ω; DC loop resistance typical 148–188 mΩ/m (category-dependent); pair-to-pair capacitance ≈ 45–52 nF/km. NEXT/PS-NEXT, ACR-F, TCL, and ELTCTL comply with category limits under IEC 61156-5/-6 and are field-verifiable to IEC 61935-1.
Mechanical: ripcords for fast jacket opening; spline or pair separators on Cat6A; snag-resistant jackets for tight conduits. Pull with measured tension and dress without kinks; use low-compression saddles in cable ladders.
Fire and CPR: reaction-to-fire per EN 50575 with options Eca to B2ca s1a d1 a1. Flame tests per IEC 60332-1; LSZH types meet low smoke/halogen targets for occupied areas.
Connectivity: 8P8C jacks to IEC 60603-7 series; IDC blocks accept 22–26 AWG solid with 110 or LSA tooling. Factory-made cords are stranded and flex-rated to thousands of insertion cycles.
PoE and heat: evaluate bundle counts, ambient >30 °C, and containment type; prefer ventilated trays and staggered dressings for Type 4. Use keystones and patch panels certified for current-carrying pairs to avoid softening or contact creep.
Office floors, teaching spaces, and labs use Cat6 for user outlets and Cat6A for WAPs and uplink-heavy desks. Arenas and transport hubs push Cat6A or fiber to meet density and EMI resilience. In production halls, shielded copper runs or fiber avoid VFD noise; panel-to-machine links sit in metal conduits with bonded foils. The cable OD ranges match Scame glands and patch-box cutouts, so panel build and on-site second-fix stay consistent with industrial sockets and compact boards already in the spec.
Copper and fiber routes land cleanly in Scame wall boxes, surface raceways, and enclosures that share the same mounting geometry as the company’s wiring devices. Keystone frames accept modular jacks next to power on multi-gang plates with proper segregation. In equipment rooms, patch fields align with Scame cabinets and lockable doors; earthing studs support shield continuity where required. When temporary feeds are needed for events or fit-outs, telecoms whips share cable management and labeling logic with power hardware for fast commissioning.
Performance envelope Choose Cat6 for client ports up to 1 GbE and PoE lighting; select Cat6A for 10 GbE, high-power PoE, or dense WAP grids.
Shielding strategy Pick U/UTP where EMI is low; move to F/UTP or U/FTP near drives, radios, or long parallel power runs.
Fire and CPR Match Eca–B2ca to the building fire strategy; default to LSZH jackets in occupied zones and circulation routes.
Pathways and thermal Plan tray fill, ventilation, and bundle size with PoE; avoid tight foam insulation around large bundles.
Termination and testing Use certified jacks and panels; test permanent links with Level VI testers and store results against room IDs for handover.
Lifecycle and MAC Plan slack for future moves; reserve spare fibers or copper pairs in risers to avoid re-pulls.
