LSZH Flame Retardant CAT5E CWB/SWB/SWA Armoured Data Cables

APPLICATION

Cat5E is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for basic voice and data installations up to 100 MHz. In addition, these cables can be offered with copper wire braid armoured & flame retardant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still maintaining the flexibility of the cable.

STANDARDS

  • ISO/IEC 11801、 EN 50173、 ANSI/TIA/EIA 568
