Fire Retardant CAT5e U/UTP SWB Armoured Data Cables
FTX-CAT5e U/UTP4P24 swb
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.
