FTX-CAT5e f/UTP4P24
FTX-CAT5e sf/UTP4P24
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.

Cable Construction
Conductors: 24AWG solid bare copper.
Insulation: PE.
Twinning: Two coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair.
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH
compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655:section 2.6 can be offered.)
Outer Sheath Option: UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti-rodent and anti-termite properties can be offered as option.
Cat5E F/UTP: These cables have collective shielding of aluminium/Polyester tape with drain wire.
Cat5E SF/UTP: These cables have double collective shieldings of aluminium/Polyester tape &
copper wire braid.
