This series of CAT5E Gigabit Ethernet cables is specifically designed for network infrastructure demanding high performance and enhanced safety. It not only fully supports Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols at frequencies up to 100 MHz, making it suitable for integrated voice and data cabling, but also incorporates outstanding fire safety features. The cable utilizes a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket, which significantly reduces smoke emission and prevents the release of toxic, corrosive gases in the event of a fire, ensuring personnel evacuation safety and equipment integrity. Certain models are available with optional foil/polyester tape shielding or foil plus copper braid dual shielding, effectively resisting electromagnetic interference and ensuring stable signal transmission in complex environments. Additionally, the cable offers excellent flexibility, weather resistance (with optional UV, oil/hydrocarbon, and rodent/insect protection features), and a wide operating temperature range (-30°C to +75°C), making it an ideal cabling solution for data centers, office buildings, campus networks, rail transit systems, industrial automation, and any critical locations where fire safety is a priority.
