K20 & L120 LSZH Armoured F/FTP Cat6 Cables
Application
The cables are designed for high speed data transmissions, and are suitable for installations in cable trays or on hooks.
Standard
- RATP CAT6-K20 (for K20 cable)
- FRANCE TELECOM S31-10/20 & NF C 93.531-6/7 (for L120 cable)
Cable Construction
 |
|
- Conductors: Class 1 AWG23 solid copper conductor (for K20 cable); 0.6mm annealed copper conductor (for L120 cable).
- Insulation: Solid polyethylene (for K20 cable); Foam skin (cellular PE + solid PE) (for L120 cable).
- Cabling Element: Two conductors are twisted together to form a pair (for K20 cable); Four conductors are twisted together to form a quad (for L120 cable).
- Core Wrapping (for L120 cable): Non-hygroscopic plastic tape with overlapping.
- Individual Screen (for K20 cable): Alu/polyester shield on each pair.
- Overall Screen: Alu/polyester shield.
- Drain Wire: Tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm nominal diameter.
- Inner Sheath (for K20 cable): LSZH.
- Armour (for K20 cable): Galvanized steel braid armour.
- Outer Sheath: LSZH.
