1.1 Two-Wire Cables

A two-wire cable is usually a two-wire copper cable whose two wires are twisted together

(twisted pair). A classic two-wire cable is an analog telephone wire with a wire diameter of

0.8 mm, which, in terms of quality (according to the ISO/IEC 11801 standard), corresponds to

a category 1 cable for voice transmission. MX2wire+ can also be operated using untwisted

cables that have at least two wires forming a physical connection between the two Mx2wire+

units. Please note that the quality, length and diameter of the two-wire cable used all have

an inﬂuence on the transfer of data and the PoE output (see Section 1.4).

Antenna or Coaxial Cable (e.g., for an Analog Camera)

• Cable type: RG according to MIL-C-17 (coaxial cable)

• An analog camera can be easily exchanged for an IP camera

• Interference-free thanks to closed systems and cable shielding

• Range (at 40Mbps): 500 m

Analog Telephone Line Or Bell Wire (e.g., for an IP Telephone)

• Cable type: JY, A2Y and YR (telephone and low-voltage cable)

• Very good availability in buildings

• Core diameter 0.6 to 0.8mm

• Range (at 40Mbps): 300 m

Power Line (Should No Longer Be Live)

• Cable type: NY (installation cable)

• Widespread availability of cables

• Cables must be disconnected from the power supply!

• Wire cross-section max. 2.5 mm

• Range (at 40Mbps): 300 m

Ethernet Installation Cable (for Extending the Network)

• Cable type: Cat7 (S/FTP, 4x2xAWG 23, 1000MHz)

• Long range data and power transmission

• Range (at 40Mbps): 500 m

By correctly combining

or twisting additionally

available wires to form

two wires or cables, the

transmission line for

data and power can be

considerably increased
