Fire Resistant CAT6 Data Cables
FFX-CAT6U/UTP4P23FR
FFX-CAT6F/UTP4P23FR
FFX-CAT6SF/UTP4P23FR
APPLICATION
Cat6 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.
