Fire Retardant CAT5e Data Cables
CAT5e U/UTP4P24LH
CAT5e F/UTP4P24LH
CAT5e SF /UTP4P24LH
APPLICATION
Cat5E is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for basic voice and data installations up to 100 MHz. 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.
