CEDIA trade supplier FS Cables has developed a series of high performance home automation composite cables.
Designed to carry HD video, HDMI and high speed data around the home, these composite cables combine individual elements such as digital coax, Cat-5E, Cat-6, fibre, and building control cable in a single bright-pink jacket.
The six cables in the HA series meet most applications. HA1 for example (pictured) contains 2 x digital coaxes and 2 x Cat-5E UTP, ideal for routing TV and broadband around the home.
The Cat-5E and Cat-6 are able to carry signals at rates far in excess of the standard which allows for large file transfer between devices quickly and without corruption.
The digital quad shield coax uses a pure copper core with high braid coverage and a bonded foil aluminium tape providing outstanding screening performance.
Additionally, with cables containing either a fibre element or building control element such as KNX, Crestron™, Mode™ or Lutron™, you can be confident that the future is available now.
Each cable carries a coloured stripe to identify its construction. Cables can also be printed with the area and device numbers on the jacket to make marking or tagging during installation quick and simple.
To launch the new range of home automation composite cables, FS Cables are offering a free promotional product wheel. This wheel contains details of the construction technical data for each of the individual elements of each cable. For your free copy, please contact us with your details and we will post you a copy.
