APPLICATION

Cat5E 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 can be offered with copper wire braid armoured & flame retardant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still maintaining the flexibility of the cable.

STANDARDS

ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, ANSI/TIA/EIA 568

FIRE PERFORMANCE

Circuit IntegrityIEC 60331-23; BS 6387 CWZ (Optional)
Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire or cable test)IEC 60332-1-2; EN 60332-1-2
Reduced Fire Propagation (Vertically-mounted bundled wires & cables test)IEC 60332-3-24; EN 60332-3-24
Halogen FreeIEC 60754-1; EN 50267-2-1
No Corrosive Gas EmissionIEC 60754-2; EN 50267-2-2
Minimum Smoke EmissionIEC 61034-2; EN 61034-2

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Conductor24AWG solid bare copper.
InsulationHDPE+SR.
TwinningTwo coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair.
Overall Fire BarrierMica glass tape.
Inner SheathThermoplastic LSZH compound.
Armouring:CWB: Copper Wire Braid
SWB: Steel Wire Braid
SWA: Steel Wire Armour
Outer SheathHalogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered).
Outer Sheath OptionUV 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.
Cat5EF/UTPThese cables have collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape with drain wire.
Cat5ESF/UTPThese cables have double collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape & copper wire braid.
