LAN / Reduced Wiring Network Cable
LAN and reduced wiring network cables are wiring cables used for Ethernet connections. Pair cables with modular connectors on both ends are generally called LAN cables, which are used for connecting to devices and circuits whose connections are interfaced with connectors. The cables are available in various types, such as the connector / terminal block conversion unit cables, industrial Ethernet connector cables, PCB connector cables, ribbon cables, and more. Conductor specifications can be classified into "solid wire" types with 8 solid copper wire cores with larger diameters, or "stranded wire" types where each of 8 conductors is made of bundles of 7 smaller-gauge wires. LAN and reduced wiring network cables are offered with different characteristics for different situations, such as vibration resistance and heat resistance, and it is important to use a cable suited to the application.
