K20 & L120 LSZH Armoured F/FTP Cat6 Cables
Application
K20 & L120 LSZH Armoured F/FTP Cat6 Cables are designed for high speed data transmissions, and are
suitable for installations in cable trays or on hooks.
Construction
Conductors: Class 1 AWG23 solid copper conductor (for K20 cable); 0.6mm annealed copper conductor (for L120
cable).
Insulation: Solid polyethylene (for K20 cable); Foam skin (cellular PE + solid PE) (for L120 cable).
Cabling Element: Two conductors are twisted together to form a pair (for K20 cable); Four conductors are
twisted together to form a quad (for L120 cable).
Core Wrapping (for L120 cable): Non-hygroscopic plastic tape with overlapping.
Individual Screen (for K20 cable): Alu/polyester shield on each pair.
Overall Screen: Alu/polyester shield.
Drain Wire: Tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm nominal diameter.
Inner Sheath (for K20 cable): LSZH.
Armour (for K20 cable): Galvanized steel braid armour.
Outer Sheath: LSZH.
Optional:
Armoured L120 Cables: Tinned copper braid armoured cables can be offered upon request.
Reference Standards
RATP CAT6-K20 (for K20 cable)
FRANCE TELECOM S31-10/20 & NF C 93.531-6/7 (for L120 cable)
