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

FIRE PERFORMANCE

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)

BS EN 60332-1-2

VOLTAGE RATING

300,500V

Cable Construction

Conductors: 24AWG solid bare copper.
Insulation: PE.
Twinning: Two coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair.
Inner Sheath: Flame retardant, low smoke and halogen-free polyolefin, coloured black.
Armouring:
CWB: Copper Wire Braid
SWB: Steel Wire Braid
SWA: Steel Wire Armour
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound.
Outer Sheath Option: UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti-rodent and anti-termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
Cat5EF/UTP: These cables have collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape with drain wire.
Cat5ESF/UTP: These cables have double collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape & copper wire braid.
