Fire Resistant CAT6A SWB Armoured Data Cables
Fire Resisting S/FTP Cat 6A Cable to IEC 60331-23
Part NO. FFX-CAT6AS/FTP4P23FR SWB
APPLICATION
Cat6A Cable is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for 10BaseT, 100BaseTx & 1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet) application. In addition, these cables can be offered with copper wire braid armoured & flame retardant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still maintaining the flexibility of the cable.
STANDARDS
Basic design adapted to EN 50173
