Flame Retardant CAT6 CWB/SWB/SWA Armoured Data Cables

APPLICATION

Cat6 Cable is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for 10BaseT, 100BaseTx & 1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet) application. 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

Cable Construction

Conductors: 23AWG 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.
Cat6F/UTP: These cables have collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape with drain wire.
Cat6SF/UTP: These cables have double collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape & copper wire braid.
