PoE cable bundles generate heat due to the power transmission that occurs through the copper conductors of standard networking cables. Cable bundles with higher

temperature-ranges are more likely to experience power dissipation and support decreased cable ranges. We’ve outlined the three essential steps to keep your cable bundles cool.

Larger cable bundles experience the highest amount of temperature at their core. Splitting a large cable bundle into

smaller cable bundles is an easy way to decrease heat.

Higher category Ethernet cables consistently maintain

lower temperatures than lower category. Higher

category cables oftentimes comprise of thicker jackets, center spleens, and thinner wire gauges that improves

heat insulation.

Another pricier work around is to install higher shielding cabling for larger cable bundles. There are several types of cables with different types of shielding available. Shielded cable will help increase the insulation of your PoE cable bundles.
