What are the differences between flame retardant network cables and ordinary network cables?

　　The main differences between flame retardant network cables and ordinary network cables are reflected in the following aspects:

　　I. Definition and purpose

　　Flame retardant network cable:

　　Definition: Flame retardant network cable refers to a network cable that can prevent network equipment from continuing to burn or accelerating combustion in the event of a fire.

　　Purpose: Mainly used in applications with high fire safety requirements, such as enterprises, public places, high-rise buildings, television stations, communication facilities, etc., to protect the security of network equipment and data.

　　Ordinary network cable:

　　Definition: Ordinary network cables only need to meet the basic requirements for tranSMitting data, without the need for special fire resistance.

　　Purpose: Suitable for general network environments such as homes, offices, and small Internet cafes. As long as the transmission distance does not exceed 100 meters and the transmission speed is lower than 1Gbps, the transmission effect of ordinary network cables is already very good.

　　Material and safety performance

　　Flame retardant network cable:

　　Material: The material requirements of flame retardant network cables are higher than those of ordinary network cables, and low-smoke halogen-free materials are usually used. This type of material produces less smoke and toxic gases during combustion than ordinary network cable materials, and will not cause greater harm to the human body.

　　Safety performance: It has the characteristics of fire prevention, flame retardancy, and high temperature resistance, which can ensure the safe operation of network equipment in the event of a fire and reduce the damage to the network communication system caused by fire.

　　Ordinary network cable:

　　Material: Ordinary network wires are usually made of copper, and the outer skin material may be PVC and other conventional materials.

　　Safety performance: Ordinary network cables do not have special fire resistance, which may not protect the safety of network equipment in the event of a fire.

　　III. Price and cost

　　Flame retardant network cable:

　　Price: Due to the use of higher-quality flame retardant materials and more rigorous manufacturing processes, the price of flame retardant cable is usually higher.

　　Cost: Although the initial investment cost is high, considering its important role in fire safety, it is cost-effective in the long run.

　　Ordinary network cable:

　　Price: Ordinary network cables are inexpensive and easy to purchase and replace.

　　Cost: Suitable for occasions with strict cost requirements, such as homes, small offices, etc.

　　IV. Other performance differences

　　In addition to the above main differences, there may also be differences in electrical performance, transmission speed, durability, etc. between flame retardant network cables and ordinary network cables. But the specific differences depend on the specific specifications of the network cable and the manufacturer's manufacturing process.

　　In summary, the difference between flame retardant network cable and ordinary network cable mainly lies in the definition and use, material and safety performance, price and cost, and other possible performance differences. When choosing network cable, the appropriate type should be selected according to actual needs and scenarios. In occasions with high fire safety requirements, it is recommended to use flame retardant network cable to ensure the safety of network equipment and data.
