FFX-CAT5EU/UTP4P24FR CWB/SWB/SWA
FFX-CAT5EF/UTP4P24FR CWB/SWB/SWA
FFX-CAT5ESF/UTP4P24FR CWB/SWB/SWA
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,Fire Resistant CAT5E CWB/SWB/SWA Armoured Data 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 EN 50173

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Conductor |
24AWG solid bare copper. |
|---|---|
Insulation |
HDPE+SR. |
Twinning |
Two coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair. |
Overall Fire Barrier |
Mica glass tape. |
Inner Sheath |
Thermoplastic LSZH compound. |
Armouring: |
CWB: Copper Wire Braid |
Outer Sheath |
Halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered). |
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. |
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. |
