The Lanview brand is able to provide structured cabling solutions, shielded or unshielded, in copper and fibre optics from Cat5e up to Cat7a, covering a bandwidth ranging from 100MHz to 1200MHz, for both indoor and outdoor applications and with a focus on video surveillance
When you need structured cabling, the right answer is Lanview, a brand that belongs to the EET Group galaxy and that, depending on the category in question, is able to provide different cable versions all characterised by innovative and ergonomic design.
Optical fibre solutions
With regard to fibre optics, solutions are available in all fibre types with standardised connectors, from multimode OM3 and OM4 fibres to single mode G652d and G657A1 fibres, with breakout cables, distribution cables and multi-loose tube cables suitable for all applications, internal as well as external (for all CPR classifications).
For data centre applications in particular, Lanview, in keeping with its nature as a flexible brand open to technological innovations, offers high-density OM4/OM5 MTP/MPO and Cat8 copper solutions.
DAC cables
Particularly important are the new DAC solutions, shielded copper cables terminated at both ends, with SFP+, QSFP+, SFP28, QSFP28, QSFP-DD interfaces. The DAC cable has the characteristic of eliminating the need for optical transceivers, resulting in significant cost savings without detriment to signal quality and reliability. Containing no lasers or diodes, and transmitting the electrical signal directly through a copper cable, the most frequent application of DAC cables is in data centres or as a connection between racks in video surveillance facilities.
DAC cables can be active or passive, and with Lanview you can find all models for any application. A passive DAC is a shielded copper cable terminated on both ends with SFP+, QSFP+, SFP28 interfaces available in lengths from 0.5 to 7 metres, and can also be used as a connecting cable between switch and server.
The active DAC cable is also made of shielded copper and terminated on both ends with SFP+, QSFP+, SFP28 interfaces, but offers additional electrical components that improve the signal quality, which allows the cable length to be extended up to 15 metres.
In summary, the most important feature of DAC cables is that they do not contain an optical transceiver; they therefore produce less heat and require less power, making them perfect for connecting devices that are not very far apart. The economic advantage should also be emphasised: systems based on DAC cables cost on average much less than those involving the use of transceivers, implying a saving that, depending on the size and characteristics of the system, can range from 20% to 60% or even more in particular cases.
