FTX-CAT6 SF/FTP4P24

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 Data Cables cables are with

copper wire braid armoured & flame retardant mud resistant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically

protection still maintaining the flexibility of the cable.
