CAT6 SF/FTP4P23
| 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: | Basic design adapted to EN50173 |

Note: Asterisk ** denotes that the standard compliance is optional, depending on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the cable design.
VOLTAGE RATING
60V
CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Conductors: 23AWG solid bare copper.
Insulation: HDPE.
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. 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.
Cat6 F/UTP: These cables have collective shielding of aluminium/Polyester tape with drain wire.
Cat6 SF/UTP: These cables have double collective shieldings of aluminium/Polyester tape & copper wire braid with drain wire.
