Products - MAX Copper

MAX Copper cable is a physical medium used to transmit electrical signals for data, voice, and power. It’s the backbone of many LANs, telecom systems, and residential networks, especially where fiber isn’t necessary or cost-effective.

TWISTED PAIR CABLE

TWISTED PAIR CABLE

This is the most widely used copper cable for networking. It consists of pairs of insulated copper wires twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

  • No additional shielding.
  • Common in home and office Ethernet networks.
  • Easy to install and cost-effective.


Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)

  • Includes shielding (foil or braid) to block interference.
  • Used in environments with high EMI (e.g., factories or hospitals).

COAXIAL CABLE (COAX)

COAXIAL CABLE (COAX)

Single copper core with metallic shield and insulation. Used in older Ethernet (10Base2, 10Base5), cable TV, and broadband.

STRUCTURE

  • Central copper conductor.
  • Dielectric insulator.
  • Metallic shield (braid or foil).
  • Outer plastic jacket.


USED FOR

  • Cable internet (DOCSIS modems).
  • CCTV systems.
  • Satellite connections.


CABLE TYPE

  • RG-6 used for Cable TV, broadband internet.
  • Hardline used for Long-distance signal deli- very.
TWINAXIAL CABLE (TWINAX)

TWINAXIAL CABLE (TWINAX)

Twinaxial cable (Twinax) is a specialized type of cable used in networking for short-distance, high-speed data transmission, especially in data centers. It’s like coaxial cable’s smarter cousin, but with two conductors instead of one, enabling differential signaling for better performance.

STRUCTURE

  • Two inner conductors
  • Insulation
  • Shielding
  • Outer sheath


USED FOR

  • Direct Attach Cables (DACs): Twinax is often used in DACs to connect switches, servers, and storage within racks.
  • Data centers: Perfect for short-range links between high-performance devices.\
  • Legacy systems: Historically used in IBM systems like AS/400 with proprietary connectors.


CABLE TYPE

  • RG-6 used for Cable TV, broadband internet.
  • Hardline used for Long-distance signal deli- very.


ADVANTAGES

  • High-speed transmission.
  • Low latency.
  • Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) resistance.
