Cable For Office And Campus Local Area Networks

What goes into a horizontal cabling package, and where the specification decisions actually bite.

The Situation

What Makes This Application Different

A floor of horizontal cabling is a fixed-price package on a fixed programme. Every link has to certify, the containment fill has to work, and none of it can be revisited once the ceiling is closed.

Specification Decisions

What To Decide Before The Cable Is Ordered

Category choice

CAT5e still carries gigabit to a desk. CAT6 is the current default for new work. CAT6A is specified where 10 Gb has to run the full channel or where Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 access points set the uplink requirement.

PoE loading

Conductor size decides how much power reaches the far end and how hot a full bundle runs. 23 AWG CAT6 gives materially more headroom than 24 AWG CAT5e on a 90 m link feeding a powered device.

Screening

UTP is correct for most office environments. Add a screen where cable runs parallel to power for a long distance, or where the installation standard requires it — and bond it properly at the panel or the screen does nothing.

Jacket

LSZH for occupied buildings and escape routes, PVC where the local rules allow it, PE for anything that leaves the building envelope.

Colour discipline

Segregating data, voice, camera and building management traffic by jacket colour is free at order time and saves hours on every future moves-and-changes job.

Questions

Office & Campus LAN — Questions

How much spare capacity should I allow in containment?

Enough to add a later service without a second tray. CAT6A in particular has a larger outside diameter than CAT6, so check fill before the cable is ordered.

Should patch cords match the bulk cable category?

Yes. A channel is only rated to the lowest category component in it — CAT5e cords on a CAT6 permanent link give you a CAT5e channel.

Not sure which specification fits office & campus lan?

Send the run lengths, environment and device loading for your office & campus lan project. We will name the stocked specification that fits before you order rather than after.
