At LP 0.5A High Temperature (70.1C) Worst Case Conditions: 10 Mb transmission distance up to at least 200 meters per Bit Error Rate Testing using Smart Bits Tester (single cable) 100 Mb transmission distance up to at least 140 meters per Bit Error Rate Testing using Smart Bits Tester (single cable) 1Gb transmission distance up to at least 140 meters per Bit Error Rate Testing using Spirent TestCenter / Copper Ethernet Test Module (single cable) 10Gb transmission distance up to 105 meters per Bit Error Rate Testing using Spirent TestCenter / Copper Ethernet Test Module (single cable) HDBaseT transmission distance up to at least 105 meters per HDBaseT™ transmission per UL 4299, Outline of Investigation for Power Over HDBaseT™ (PoH) Cables. Maximum bundle size of 91 cables operating at 0.5A per conductor for a 15°C temperature rise at a 45°C ambient per TIA TSB-184A. HDBaseT™ transmission distance of between 80 – 100 meters per UL 4299, Outline of Investigation for Power Over HDBaseT™ (PoH) Cables, using a modular plug terminated link (direct connect) configuration at room ambient @ LP 0.5A. Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery distance is as indicated for the PoE Type per DC resistance measurements in ANSI/TIA-568.2-D: Balanced Twisted-Pair Telecommunications Cabling and Components, and, the power source and powered device specifications in IEEE 802.3bt: IEEE Standard for Ethernet Amendment 2: Physical Layer and Management Parameters for Power over Ethernet over 4 pairs: Type CMP PowerWise 1G based on maximum power limits at the load (PD): Type 1 (15W): 378 m @ Ambient (21C) & 323 m @ LP 0.5A operating temperature Type 2 (30W): 236 m @ Ambient (21C) & 202 m @ LP 0.5A operating temperature Type 3 (60W): 236 m @ Ambient (21C) & 202 m @ LP 0.5A operating temperature Type 4 (90W): 237 m @ Ambient (21C) & 203 m @ LP 0.5A operating temperature Jacket Temperature Rating at least 90°C per UL Standard for Safety for Communications Cables, UL 444 test data Installation Type Designation: Type CMP per UL Standard for Safety for Communications Cables, UL 444 test data A maximum flexing force as specified when tested with a force applied 1 inch from the point of cable exit from a securing fixture through an arc of 10 degrees: Flex Force 30 oz-ft. 1 Gb transmission (single cable) passive transmission performance per ANSI/TIA-568.2-D: Balanced Twisted-Pair Telecommunications Cabling and Components, from 1 MHz up to a maximum stop frequency of 450 MHz Power efficiency at an ambient temperature of 45 °C is 89.3%. Power efficiency at an ambient temperature of 70.1 °C (worst case) is 88.5%.

About the Manufacturer

For over 90 years, Superior Essex has forged a path by meeting and exceeding the wire and cable requirements for the automotive, industrial, commercial, residential, energy and communications markets. We proudly trace our history back to 1930, when the Essex Wire Corporation was founded in Detroit, Michigan. Meanwhile, Superior Cable Corporation was founded in 1954, in Hickory, North Carolina. After many years of growth and change, in 1999, Superior TeleCom (formerly Superior Cable) acquired Essex International (formerly Essex Wire) and together they formed the company we are globally known as today – Superior Essex – now based in Atlanta, Georgia.

What is UL Verification?

UL Verification is an objective, science-based assessment that confirms the accuracy of marketing claims. Our independent assessment process scrutinizes the validity of specific advertising or promotional statements, giving you a way to separate verified fact from fiction.
