Generate RFQ-ready Ethernet cable specifications for Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, Cat7 and Cat8 copper cabling projects. This tool helps buyers, engineers and system integrators define category, shielding, flame rating, PoE suitability, jacket material and installation environment before requesting a quote.
Start with the application scenario, then define cable category, shielding, PoE, flame rating and installation conditions.
Copy, compare, add to RFQ list or export the generated cable specification for supplier quotation and project documentation.
| # | Application | Cable Type | Flame / Jacket | PoE | Environment | Qty | Action |
|---|
| Output Item | Why It Matters | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended cable type | Clarifies Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, Cat7 or Cat8 instead of vague “network cable” wording. | RFQ, tender, project material approval |
| Shielding structure | Helps match EMI environment, industrial installation and high-performance copper links. | Factory network, CCTV backbone, data center copper link |
| Flame / jacket rating | Reduces mismatch between indoor, riser, plenum, LSZH, CPR and outdoor requirements. | Building projects, contractor submittals, compliance review |
| PoE suitability | Helps buyers avoid undersized conductors or low-quality conductors in PoE and PoE++ projects. | IP cameras, Wi-Fi AP, access control, smart building devices |
| Procurement details | Collects color, packing, marking, quantity and OEM requirements before quotation. | Distributor quotation, OEM order, sample request |
| Project Scenario | Common Recommendation | Engineering Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Office LAN | Cat6 U/UTP or Cat6A U/UTP | Balanced cost and performance for commercial structured cabling. |
| PoE CCTV / Wi-Fi AP | Cat6 or Cat6A, solid bare copper, 23AWG preferred for high-power PoE | PoE applications need better conductor quality, lower resistance and thermal margin. |
| Riser pathway | CMR-rated Ethernet cable | Vertical shafts require suitable riser-rated cable according to project code. |
| Plenum pathway | CMP-rated Ethernet cable | Air-handling spaces normally require stricter flame and smoke performance. |
| Industrial Ethernet | Cat6A S/FTP or SF/UTP with LSZH/PUR jacket | Shielding and robust jacket improve EMI resistance and mechanical durability. |
| Outdoor network | Outdoor Cat6 / Cat6A with UV-resistant PE jacket | Outdoor installation needs UV, moisture and temperature resistance. |
For PoE++, dense bundles or 10G-ready networks, start with Cat6A 23AWG solid bare copper unless the project has a strict cost limit.
Do not request only “Cat6 cable”. Add shielding, flame rating, conductor, jacket, packing and marking to make quotations comparable.
ZION focuses on suitable conductor, shielding, jacket and compliance selection, not just cable supply. The goal is stable links and fewer project surprises.
| RFQ Field | Example | Why It Should Be Included |
|---|---|---|
| Cable category | Cat6A | Defines transmission class and project performance target. |
| Shielding | U/UTP, F/UTP, S/FTP | Determines EMI protection, grounding design and installation practice. |
| Conductor | 23AWG solid bare copper | Important for permanent link performance, PoE voltage drop and thermal behavior. |
| Flame rating | CM, CMR, CMP, LSZH, CPR | Required for code-sensitive building pathways and project approval. |
| Jacket material | PVC, LSZH, PE, PUR | Matches indoor, low-smoke, outdoor or industrial installation conditions. |
| Packing and marking | 305m pull box, custom print, carton label | Helps distributors and contractors control inventory and installation workflow. |
No. This tool helps create a clear RFQ starting point. Final cable selection should always be checked against local code, project drawings, consultant requirements and installation environment.
Cat6A is preferred when the project needs 10G readiness, high-power PoE, dense cable bundles, longer performance margin or a more future-ready structured cabling design.
No. LSZH describes low-smoke zero-halogen jacket behavior, while CMP is a plenum flame rating commonly required for air-handling spaces in certain markets. Always confirm the project standard.
High-power PoE needs lower resistance, better thermal margin and more stable long-distance power delivery. For PoE+ and PoE++, ZION recommends solid bare copper and does not recommend CCA conductors.
Yes. ZION can support custom jacket printing, carton labels, pull boxes, reels, drums and project-specific packaging depending on product type and order quantity.
Copy the generated specification and send it to ZION for datasheet matching, sample confirmation, OEM marking and quotation support. ZION helps customers define the complete link requirement, not just a cable model.
