I also had this one summer in an old house, including a window lead-through. It was on the shady side, so no direct sun. But it survived well for about 3 months.
This is certainly not a problem with the cable... The network card of the PC and the possible switch or router port must have a 1 Gbit/s port and not 100 Mbit/s... to be seen on that side.
According to the description, the cable should support PoE. I'm about to buy one and will also use PoE over it, if it doesn't work I'll let you know :)
Hi,
This cable is not rigid, you can bend it at 90°.
As far as the names are concerned, it is the type of shielding of your cable. You have to choose according to the distance to be covered. The longer the distance, the better the shielding should be. For more details: Google->utp ftp stp-> search->results
That is definitely the case. Ribbon cable seems to be the wrong definition. The manufacturer itself simply calls it Slim with the specification for shape: Round & Thin with 4mm cable diameter.
UTP means Unshielded Twisted Pair, i.e. unshielded and unscreened. Whether data transmission will work well with this cable and whether a shielded cable would be better is a question that cannot be answered easily. It depends on what happens on the 5x2.5mm2 and how the equipotential bonding of the end devices is. Long story short, I would try it with exactly this network cable. Then I would lay another wire/tape and leave it. Then it would be easier to run another data cable. Technically much better would be to use a fibre optic cable for data transmission. Hope it helps
The cable is 1.5mm thick (just measured).
I have it in operation between the switch (on which my PC is connected, among other things) and the router.
The only annoying point: it is slightly bluish and not really white.
Also, one side is printed (as shown in the picture) - but the other is not.
In any case, the cable is better than any WLAN bridge solution (unfortunately, I also had to learn this at some point).
