Thinking To Buy A 100ft Ethernet Cable? However How These Cables Are Made? What Procedures Are Involved? Please Check Out This Brief Article.
You are planning of shopping for a 100ft Ethernet cable to allow you to create a network at home or for your company. However, you may be astonished what the heck is really involved when it comes to construction of the solid core cables that are the kinds more usually used. The reason for utilizing solid core instead than stranded cables for the Ethernet is that they are generally much stronger.
And so which are the processes engaged in the manufacturing of a 100ft Ethernet cable? Underneath we have a brief look at some of them.
Process 1 - Copper Rod Breakdown
5000 lb. coils of copper are provided to the maker and once shipped the copper on the coils is usually drawn through a diamond die this helps to minimize the diameter of the copper. In the beginning it starts out at 12 gauge however after being drawn through it ends up as 10 gauge. Once it has reached this stage it is then stacked into stem packs prior to being drawn further to reduce its gauge even more. In the course of this second drawing procedure an electrical current is passed through it and it anneals the copper so softening it. Then after being annealed it will be cooled down before passing through a laser system to measure and thus guarantee it is within the manufacturers standards.
Process 2 - Copper Insulation
This approach is very carefully monitored and controlled and after the copper wire has been insulated it is passed through water to cool it. This also helps to harden the jacket now surrounding the wire.
Process 3 - Twisting of Copper Wire
It is this method that helps to minimize the quantity of cross talk that could happen among different wires. In some cases to prevent this further when it comes to CAT 6 100ft Ethernet cable a centre spline (wire separator) is integrated. The winding of the wire is accomplished by passing it through various faceplates.
Process 4 - Coating of Cable
This method is as well known as jacketing and the type of plastic that is utilized to coat the cable to guard it depends on the Category of Ethernet cable being made. For both CAT 5e, CAT 6 as well as CAT 3 100ft Ethernet cables then a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or even Black Polythene plastic will be used.
