Guide to Twisted Pair Cables

epcom has an extensive catalog. We will be talking about them in future internal content materials, but these are the 3 main basics:

UTP cable consists of 4 twisted pairs, with PVC cover, for applications such as Analog CCTV, Data network, IP telephony, IP CCTV, etc.

  • The cable can be 100% copper “CU” or aluminum alloy “CCA.”
  • 100 Ohms
  • 24 AWG

EP-CAT-5E-V2
EP-CAT-5E-V2/W
EP-CAT-5E-V2B
PRO-CAT-5E
PRO-CAT-6-EXT-LITEW
PRO-CAT5-EXT-LITEW

FTP cable consists of 4 twisted pairs, PVC cover, for applications such as Analog CCTV, Data networks, IP telephony, IP CCTV, etc. “NOTE: the cable can place it near electromagnetic fields like those caused by generators thanks to its shielding.”

  • “Shielded” cover protects the 4 twisted pairs
  • aluminized polyester protects against electromagnetic interference
  • 120 Ohms
  • 24 AWG

STP and S/FTP cable consists of 4 twisted pairs, PVC cover, exclusive for high demand environments and high electromagnetic radiation disturbance.

  • “Shielded” aluminum or copper mesh and polyester protect the 4 twisted pairs
  • “Shielded” aluminized polyester cover protects each twisted pair
  • Prevents electromagnetic interference
  • Grounding copper cable
  • 150 Ohms
  • 24 AWG
