Applications :
- 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 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 |
Construction :
- Conductors : 23AWG solid bare copper.
- Insulation : HDPE.
- Twinning : Two coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair.
- Bedding : Flame retardant, low smoke and halogen-free polyolefin, coloured black.
- Armour : 0.2/0.3mm copper wire braid.
- Outer Sheath : Low smoke and halogen-free polyolefin.
Optional :
- 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.
