Man configuring a data cable

Configure your personal data cable

Configure your copper- or FO-based data cable quickly and intuitively. In just a few steps, the configurator guides you to the desired solution.

FO data cables are available in lengths of up to 1,000 meters. You can choose between a free cable end and one with a male or female connector. In addition, you can choose from several connection types, degrees of protection, numbers of positions, and fiber types.

Copper-based data cables are available with multiple connections and in lengths of up to 100 meters. In addition, you can configure your solution based on different cable types, numbers of positions, transmission categories, and signal types.
