Two-Wire Cables – An Overview

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.

NOTE: Mx2wire+ takes over the cable function for network and PoE, therefore, the cable cannot be simultaneously used for power, analog telephone or antenna connection anymore.

Antenna Or Coaxial Cable
(e.g. for an analog camera)

Coaxial cable

  • 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
