Building cabling
Highly specialized, internationally standardized, and high-performance network solutions in WLAN, copper, and fiber optic technology impress with simple installation, maximum quality, and highest systems capability across all relevant performance classes.
Cabling Solutions for Networks
Structured cabling or universal building cabling is a uniform structure plan for a future-oriented and application-independent network infrastructure on which different services (voice or data) are transmitted. The aim is to avoid expensive incorrect installations and extensions, and to facilitate the installation of new network components. With products from METZ CONNECT, you are optimally networked: From floor distribution (patch panels, patch cables), to installation lines in copper and fiber optics, to subscriber connection (wall outlets) and much more.
Cables and Wires in Copper and Fiber Optics
The decision of whether to use fiber optic or copper data cables as the ideal solution up to the workstation depends on many factors: the application environment, the network base, and the planning horizon. Our high-quality cables are always used where high-speed data transmission in local area networks (LAN) is required. The cables are used for structured and application-neutral networks with transmission speeds from 100BaseT to 25 GBit Ethernet. Apart from voice and data communication, our solutions are also suitable for remote power supply of various end devices via Power over Ethernet (4PPoE up to 100 W) as well as high-end 4K video, e.g. HDBaseT. Our product range consists of, among other things, installation and connection cables that have been tested for compatibility with common connection components.
Pre-assembled Fiber Optic Installation Cables
Pre-assembled installation cables (VIK) are fiber optic cables equipped with plugs on one or both sides, which are manufactured under the highest quality standards in manual individual production.
Fiber Optic Cabling | Plugs and Couplings for Network Cabling
For fiber optic transmission, we offer plugs and couplings in different performance classes like OS2 for singlemode and OM2 to OM5 for multimode connections in protection classes IP20 and IP67.
Copper Cabling | Plugs and Jacks
The portfolio offers a wide range of plugs and jacks in different performance and protection classes.
- 10/100 MBit, 10 GBit and 25 GBit Ethernet systems
- simple mounting without special tools
- robust zinc diecast casing
- Suitable for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, etc., Remote Powering (PoE, PoE plus and 4PPoE) and HDBaseT, AV over IP, SAT-IP, etc.
Patch Panels and Patch Cords
For structured cabling distribution, we offer patch panels, modules, or subracks with suitable accessories for copper and fiber optic connections in modular or compact designs in different performance classes, height units, and different port numbers.
