Flame Retardant Data Cables
Flame Retardant CAT6 CWB/SWB/SWA Armoured Data Cables
FGD-CAT6 U/UTP4P23
FGD-CAT6 F/UTP4P23
FGD-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, Flame Retardant CAT6 CWB/SWB/SWA
Armoured Data Cables can be offered with copper wire braid armoured & flame retardant outer sheath,
providing additional mechanically protection still aintaining the flexibility of the cable.
STANDARDS
Basic design adapted to EN50173

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.
