Flame Retardant Databus Cables

Flame Retardant RS485 Databus Cables

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 RS485 Databus Cables are with copper

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

still maintaining the flexibility of the cable.

Standards

Basic design to EIA/TIA 485
