RJ45 connectors lesson

[zero-degrees]

Stranded and CCA don't go hand in hand. There is non-cca stranded out there. I've got pull boxes of both that were bought back when CCA didn't exist.
I'm just looking for the info that stranded cannot be run as long as solid, like an attenuation table.

Here is your standards - 2001
https://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.nag.ru/goodies/tia/TIA-EIA-568-B.2.pdf&chrome=true

Honestly stranded and CCA are one in the same to most - as in stay away - i understand what your saying above as your stranded isn't cca, but that doesn't make it that much better. Even when people come across stranded that isn't cca they still terminate it incorrectly with standard solid connectors. Any IT service individual would not use stranded within there infrastructure, and most knowledgeable people sure as hell wouldn't attempt to use it with POE runs.

Yep, ran into this back in the when switching over from 10base-2 (coax) ethernet to 10base-t. Have my bag of stranded RJ45 plugs, solid, and even DEC RJ45 ends with the offset tang.

I guess it's the nerd in me. CCA and stranded will never be the same thing in my head.

Can you post a link to the standards please ? (stranded vs solid)

Don't have to, you have Google. Stranded is good for jumpers between the patch panel and switch, more flexible. Never Ever run lengths over 10-25' in stranded, besides being in the standards, it's common knowledge, from experience, to people that do this for a living. I'd never have a 33' stranded cable, though I guess that's acceptable. And I will restate again, DON'T USE STP outside, unless you REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!! It's only COMMON SENSE!

Did look before I posted. Lots of hits, all say stranded is more flexible, more attenuation, nobody posting attenuation tables of each cable type. Just looking for the data and its not there.

For short distances, terminated correctly. Basically you run copper from camera to patch panel, stranded from patch panel to switch. One person I know wants to put keystone jacks at every camera. He is an idiot, adds 3 times the possibility of failure. Two for each end of the patch, and one for the keystone.
