Fire Resisting Cables

Fire Resistant CAT6A SWB Armoured Data Cables

Fire Resisting S/FTP Cat 6A Cable to IEC 60331-23

Part NO. FFX-CAT6AS/FTP4P23FR SWB

APPLICATION

cat6a 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.
