Flame Retardant CAT6 Data Cables
FGD-CAT6 U/UTP4P23
FGD-CAT6 F/UTP4P23
FGD-CAT6 SF/UTP4P23
APPLICATION
Cat6 Cable is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for 10BaseT, 100BaseTx & 1000BaseT(Gigabit Ethernet) application.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.
STANDARDS
- Basic design adapted to EN50173

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
| Conductors |
23 AWG solid bare copper |
| Insulation |
HDPE |
| Twinning |
Two coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair |
| Inner Sheath |
Flame retardant, low smoke and halogen-free polyolefin, coloured black |
| Outer Sheath |
Thermoplastic PVC compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request |
| Cat6 F/UTP |
These cables have collective shielding of aluminium/Polyester tape with drain wire |
| Cat6 SF/UTP |
These cables have double collective shieldings of aluminium/Polyester tape & copper wire braid with drain wire |
