Cat5E UTP/FTP Armoured Data Cable

Applications

Cat5E Cable 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 are with copper wire braid armoured & flame retardant mud resistant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still maintaining the flexibility of the cable.

Standards

  • IEC 60332-3-22
  • IEC 60754-1,2
  • IEC 61034-1,2
  • NEK 606:2004
