There’s an increasing need to extend indoor Category 6 and 6A networks to the outdoors without degrading performance. The same connectivity expectations that exist for indoor networks now apply to outdoor networks, too.
This became even more apparent during the pandemic, when people were relying on outdoor networks to stay connected to their workplaces and education institutions because they didn’t have access at home and couldn’t enter buildings.
Schools and campuses use outdoor networks to connect students and teachers. Cities provide outdoor network access for citizens and mobile workers who travel from site to site. Businesses improve worker productivity by making sure employees and visitors can connect to enterprise networks outside. And many organizations need their networks to reach to the outdoors so they can connect exterior cameras and wireless access points.
To extend indoor Category 6 and 6A networks outside, there are two cabling choices. Let’s review them here.
1. OSP Cables
Telecommunications systems located outside a building are considered outside plant (OSP) systems and need OSP cables that can withstand prolonged exposure to natural elements, like sunlight, water, wind and extreme high and low temperature fluctuations.
OSP cabling is more difficult to design and deploy than indoor cabling. It’s often flooded or filled with a messy, water-blocking gel that’s difficult to work with. Before termination, it must be completely cleaned off the OSP cable’s conductors. This adds a step to the installation process and increases the likelihood of rework.
And, if the OSP cable lacks a suitable indoor rating, like riser or plenum, then it needs to transition to an indoor cable when brought into a building. To transition OSP cable to indoor cable, a connection must be added to the Ethernet channel. This connection can introduce crosstalk, which creates signal transmission issues that disrupt data flow.
That’s why Belden designed its new Dry Core OSP Category Cables. They feature a gel-free design to simplify termination at transition points. This OSP cable can be terminated just as quickly and easily as indoor cable with no messy, water-blocking gels—which means no more sticky fingers for installers! It’s the only cable of its kind in the market today.
To reduce crosstalk issues and further reduce installation time and costs, you can also combine this OSP cable with our REVConnect® Coupler, which doesn’t introduce additional crosstalk. It’s nearly invisible or transparent in terms of impact and provides the best controlled electrical performance possible.
2. Indoor/Outdoor Cables
Indoor/outdoor (I/O) cables are designed to eliminate the need for a transition point when bringing cabling into a building. They’re available with many types of fire ratings, including plenum, riser and LSZH.
When indoor and outdoor boundaries are crossed, and an OSP and indoor enterprise network need to come together, using these cables means you no longer have to worry about connecting two different cable types. A dual-rated I/O plenum cable can be used for indoor, plenum-rated applications and outdoor networks as well.
Belden’s new Dry Core I/O Plenum-Rated Category Cable features innovative water-blocking technology that means it can extend from indoors to outdoors—even in wet environments—without sticky gels.
Cables that Defend Against Failure
Whether protecting against flooding or moisture, extremely low temperatures or sunlight, these outdoor products are designed to defend against failure. They’re easy to handle and install, too, with a small diameter, lighter weight and more flexibility thanks to a single-jacket design.
Both the Dry Core I/O Plenum-Rated Category Cable and Dry Core OSP Category Cables are available in Category 6 and 6A and U/UTP and F/UTP constructions.

人们越来越需要将室内 6 类和 6A 类网络扩展到室外，同时又不降低性能。’对室内网络的连接期望现在也适用于室外网络。
在疫情期间，这种情况变得更加明显，因为人们 依赖户外网络 与工作场所和教育机构保持联系，因为他们’无法在家中上网，’也无法进入建筑物。
学校和校园使用户外网络连接学生和老师。城市为公民和从一个地点到另一个地点的移动工作人员提供户外网络接入。企业通过确保员工和访客能够连接到外部的企业网络来提高员工的工作效率。许多组织需要将其网络延伸到户外，以便连接外部摄像头和无线接入点。
要将室内 6 类和 6A 类网络扩展到室外，有两种布线选择。让我们’在这里回顾一下。
1.OSP 电缆
位于建筑物外部的电信系统被视为室外设备（OSP）系统，需要采用能够承受长时间暴露在自然环境（如阳光、水、风和极端高低温波动）下的OSP线缆。
OSP 布线 比室内布线更难设计和部署。它’经常被淹没或充满混乱的、阻水的凝胶，’很难处理。终止之前，必须彻底清除 OSP 电缆’的导体。这增加了安装过程的一个步骤并增加了返工的可能性。
而且，如果 OSP 电缆缺乏合适的室内额定值（如立管或压力通风系统），则在引入建筑物时需要转换为室内电缆。要将 OSP 电缆转换为室内电缆，必须向以太网通道添加连接。这种连接可能会引入串扰，从而产生信号传输问题并扰乱数据流。
那’这就是 Belden 设计其新型干芯 OSP 类别电缆的原因。它们采用无凝胶设计，以简化过渡点处的终止。该 OSP 电缆可以像室内电缆一样快速轻松地终止，并且没有杂乱的防水凝胶—这意味着安装人员不再需要费力操作！它’这是目前市场上唯一一款此类电缆。
为了减少串扰问题并进一步减少安装时间和成本，您还可以将此 OSP 电缆与我们的 REVConnect® 耦合器，这并不’不会引入额外的串扰。它’就冲击力而言，它几乎是看不见的或透明的，并且提供了最佳的控制电气性能。
2.室内/室外电缆
室内/室外 (I/O) 电缆的设计旨在消除将电缆引入建筑物时对转换点的需求。他们’具有多种类型的防火等级，包括通风系统、立管和 LSZH。
当跨越室内和室外边界，并且 OSP 和室内企业网络需要连接在一起时，使用这些电缆意味着您不再需要担心连接两种不同类型的电缆。双额定 I/O 阻燃电缆也可用于室内、阻燃应用和室外网络。
百通’的新型干芯 I/O Plenum-Rated 类别电缆采用创新的阻水技术，这意味着它可以从室内延伸到室外—即使在潮湿的环境中—不含粘性凝胶。
防故障线缆
无论是防洪还是防潮、防极低温度还是防阳光，这些户外产品的设计都能够防止故障。他们’由于采用单夹套设计，因此也易于操作和安装，直径小、重量轻、灵活性更高。
干芯 I/O 阻燃类别电缆和干芯 OSP 类别电缆均有 6 类和 6A 类以及 U/UTP 和 F/UTP 结构可供选择。
