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,LSZH Flame Retardant 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.
