Product Information

Utility Grade INFRASTRUCTURE, also known as UTG, is a new technology platform, assurance program and design approach that redefines the infrastructure layer to support building subsystems, technologies and applications.

The Utility Grade Infrastructure platform has been co-developed alongside word-class global technology partners who have defined and manufactured critical UTG components necessary to form a best in class Utility Grade Infrastructure.

Independent third-party tested and verified by UL, the UTG program will offer UTG-rated cabling solutions built to support your specific application, performance and lifecycle needs.

Wesco Utility Grade Infrastructure UTG40

Verification Method

Hybrid/Composite cable performance characteristics have been evaluated as outlined below to determine that the product satisfies the requirements of UTG40. For copper wire - Testing conditions: 40° C, 50%RH - Max input power not to exceed 100 Watts (per maximum Class 2 limits). - For each gauge size, confirm output power at the specified lengths below. For 16 AWG wire - At least 30 Watt power delivery at 460 meters - At least 60 Watt power delivery at 250 meters - At least 75 Watt power delivery at 185 meters For 18 AWG wire - At least 30 Watt power delivery at 300 meters - At least 60 Watt power delivery at 150 meters - At least 75 Watt power delivery at 120 meters For optical fiber - Testing conditions: 23° C nominal, 50%RH nominal. - Measure Bit Error Rate (BER) for 5 mins, with and without Forward Error Correction (FEC). - Calculate the confidence level with and without FEC. For 16 AWG Hybrid/Composite cables - Bit Error Rate (BER) of 1x10-12 at 400 Gbps with Forward Error Correction (FEC) over 460 meters of single-mode fiber. - Bit Error Rate (BER) of 1x10-12 at 400 Gbps without Forward Error Correction (FEC) over 460 meters of single-mode fiber. For 18 AWG Hybrid/Composite cables - Bit Error Rate (BER) of 1x10-12 at 400 Gbps with Forward Error Correction (FEC) over 300 meters of single-mode fiber. - Bit Error Rate (BER) of 1x10-12 at 400 Gbps without Forward Error Correction (FEC) over 300 meters of single-mode fiber.
