300 METER CABLE CCTV CAMERA CABLE

Description

Types of 300-Meter Cables

1. Ethernet Cable (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7):

   • Use: For wired network connections, typically supporting speeds from 1 Gbps (Cat5e) up to 10 Gbps (Cat6a or Cat7).
   • Max Effective Distance for Ethernet: Standard Ethernet cables are effective up to 100 meters without signal boosters or extenders. Beyond 100 meters, you would need a repeater, booster, or switch to maintain signal quality.
   • Diameter: Around 5-6 mm depending on the type and shielding.
   • Weight: Approximately 15-20 kg for 300 meters.

2. Fiber Optic Cable:

   • Use: High-speed data transmission over long distances with minimal signal loss.
   • Types: Single-mode (SM) for long-distance, up to several kilometers; multi-mode (MM) for shorter, high-speed applications.
   • Diameter: Varies, but generally thinner than Ethernet cables, around 3-5 mm.
   • Weight: Approximately 8-12 kg for 300 meters.

3. Coaxial Cable:

   • Use: For TV signals, internet, and some radio frequency (RF) applications.
   • Types: RG6, RG11 (for long-distance applications, like 300 meters).
   • Diameter: Typically 6-10 mm, depending on the shielding and type.
   • Weight: Approximately 20-25 kg for 300 meters, especially with thicker RG11.

Considerations When Choosing a 300-Meter Cable

• Signal Loss: For Ethernet, consider adding boosters or switches at intervals. Fiber optic cables are ideal for maintaining signal quality over this length.
• Shielding: For outdoor or high-interference environments, select cables with shielding (STP/FTP for Ethernet, armored for fiber) to reduce interference.
• Installation: Ensure you have proper conduits, cable trays, or weatherproofing if running the cable outdoors.

  The weight and dimensions of a 300-meter cable vary depending on the type (Ethernet, fiber optic, or coaxial). Here’s an approximate range for each type:

  1. Ethernet Cable (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7)

  • Weight: Approximately 15-20 kg for 300 meters.
  • Cable Diameter: ~5-6 mm
  • Spool Dimensions: Typically around 30-40 cm in diameter and 15-20 cm in height.

  2. Fiber Optic Cable

  • Weight: Approximately 8-12 kg for 300 meters.
  • Cable Diameter: ~3-5 mm, depending on single-mode or multi-mode and shielding.
  • Spool Dimensions: Usually around 25-35 cm in diameter and 10-15 cm in height.

  3. Coaxial Cable (e.g., RG6, RG11)

  • Weight: Approximately 20-25 kg for 300 meters, with RG11 being heavier.
  • Cable Diameter: ~6-10 mm
  • Spool Dimensions: Around 30-40 cm in diameter and 15-25 cm in height, depending on the cable thickness.

  These measurements are approximate and may vary slightly based on the specific manufacturer or additional shielding on the cables.
