TWISTED PAIR COMMUNICATION CABLES SUITABLE FOR POWER OVER ETHERNET APPLICATIONS
A cable suitable for use in a Power over Ethernet application may include four twisted pairs of individually insulated conductors and a jacket formed around the four twisted pairs. Each of the four twisted pairs may include two conductors having a size greater than or equal to a 19 American Wire Gauge conductor. Additionally, the four twisted pairs may be electrically connected to an RJ-45 connector. Further, the cable may have a longitudinal length greater than 100 m.
