Direct current, low-frequency and high-frequency measurements for CATLine cables
Our CATLine product range meets the electrical and transmission requirements in the high-frequency range in accordance with or based on the EN 50288-x-x (Cat.5-Cat7A) series of standards.
Resistance imbalance: ≤ 2,0%
Characteristic impedance: 100Ω ± 10Ω
Below are some extracts for assessing performance. In addition, our particular expertise lies in the development of special cables that exceed standard requirements – whether in the field of miniaturisation with limited application lengths or for extreme transmission lengths of more than 100 m. Here, we have advanced testing capabilities in the low and high frequency measurement range and extensive experience from customer applications.
