When looking at what type of products make up a typical industrial application – the split of typical enterprise rated solutions vs industrial - it is typically 60% enterprise and 40% industrial. The reason for this is that many backbones and 2/3 cabling systems are not subject to the harsher environments (highest M.I.C.E. rating) which required the harsher and more costly industrial solutions. To be able to take advantage of using these types of solutions, the industrial space has to be mapped out so that many ‘homerun’ cables are not required, and that the harsher cabling requirements can be kept to shorter runs. This can be achieved by using a zone type of an architecture. Typically, enterprise rated solutions have M.I.C.E. ratings of 1’s and are used in TIA’s cabling system of 2 and 3. This means that these solutions are not in areas that have harsh environmental requirements. They are also, typically, a higher solid category rating as they run longer distances and are part of the networks backbone. The connectivity is normally that of a standard jack, typically using a punch down type of termination with the cable type being that of 6 or 6A, with a foil shield on the overall cable. The patch cords are again 6 or 6A, and shielded or unshielded, depending on the environment.
