Belden’s digital electricity (DE) cables received the industry’s first Class 4 certification from UL. As buildings become more intelligent, digital electricity cables can support safe and efficient emerging digital power technologies.
Class 4 is a new classification standard dedicated to fault-managed power systems. These systems offer the convenience and safety of low-voltage power, like Power over Ethernet (PoE), which offers up to 100 W. Class 4 offers close to 20 times the power of PoE over hundreds of meters, offering a safe alternative to AC.
