As an important component of network connection, the quality and performance of network cables are directly related to the stability and efficiency of network transmission. In order to ensure the quality and security of network cables, countries and regions have formulated corresponding certification standards. The following are some common network cable certifications:
1. ANATEL certification
Awarded by the Brazilian National Communications Authority (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicaçães, ANATEL).
Certification object: For telecommunications products entering the Brazilian market, including network cables.
The purpose of certification is to protect the domestic telecommunications market, safeguard the rights and interests of users, maintain the stability of telecommunications networks, and effectively manage spectrum resources.
Certification requirements: Products must meet Brazil's Telecommunications Regulations (RTF) and relevant safety standards, including requirements for electromagnetic compatibility, transmit power, safety, etc. At the same time, product technical specifications and performance, user manuals and labels must also comply with ANATEL's technical specifications and requirements.
2. CE certification
Authority: European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and European Union (EU).
Certification object: Products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA), including network cables.
Purpose of certification: To ensure the safety and interoperability of products.
Certification requirements: The network cable needs to undergo a series of rigorous tests and audits, including electromagnetic radiation testing, transmission performance testing, mechanical performance testing, etc., to ensure that it meets the relevant standards established by ETSI and the EU.
3. Other international certifications
In addition to ANATEL and CE certification, there are also some other internationally renowned certification bodies, such as UL (American Underwriters Testing Institute), FCC (Federal Communications Commission), etc., which also certify network cables. These certification bodies will strictly test the electrical properties, materials, and processes of network cables to ensure that products meet their standards.
4. Vendor internal certification
Some well-known network cable brands also conduct internal quality control and certification to ensure the quality and performance of their products. These internal certifications usually include strict control of product materials, production processes, performance testing, and other aspects.
Buying suggestions
Check the certification mark: When purchasing a network cable, you can first check whether the product is labeled with the corresponding certification mark, such as ANATEL, CE, etc.
Understanding certification bodies: You can learn more about the background and authority of these certification bodies to ensure that the purchased network cable is truly certified.
Considering product performance: In addition to certification, it is also necessary to consider the transmission rate, shielding method, conductor material and other performance parameters of the network cable to meet actual needs.
To sum up, the certification of network cables is an important means to ensure their quality and performance. When purchasing, consumers are advised to choose a network cable brand certified by an authoritative organization to ensure the quality and safety of the product.
