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 infl uence on the transfer of data and the PoE output (see Section 1.2).
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 10 Mbps): over 500 m
Analog Telephone Line or Bell Wire
• 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 10 Mbps): over 200 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. 1.5 mm

• Range (at 10 Mbps): over 200 m
Safety Warning
Never connect or handle live cables (e.g. 240V power supply) on your own; always
have a trained electrician do the installation.
Ethernet Installation cable
• Cable type: Cat7 (S/FTP, 4x2xAWG 23, 1000 MHz)
• Long range data and power transmission
• Range (at 10 Mbps): over 500 m
