For fixed Ethernet routes requiring a protective armour layer, this Cat5E range combines solid copper pairs with an LSZH inner sheath, metallic armour and a PVC outer sheath. Copper braid, steel braid and steel wire armour are offered with U/UTP, F/UTP or SF/UTP data cores. The separate construction rows help match the cable to the route and termination space.
ISO/IEC 11801 , EN 50173 , ANSI/TIA/EIA 568
Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test) ：BS EN 60332-1-2
Conductor : 24AWG solid bare copper.
Insulation : PE.
Twinning : Two coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair.
Inner Sheath : Flame retardant, low smoke and halogen-free polyolefin, coloured black.
Armouring :
CWB : Copper Wire Braid
SWB : Steel Wire Braid
SWA : Steel Wire Armour
Outer Sheath : Thermoplastic PVC compound.
Outer Sheath Option : 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.
Cat5EF/UTP : These cables have collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape with drain wire.
Cat5ESF/UTP : These cables have double collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape & copper wire braid.
Temperature range : -30°C - +75°C
Minimum bending radius during installation (mobile state) : 8 x Overall Diameter
Minimum bending radius during operation (fixed state) : 4 x Overall Diameter

Four pairs of 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors with PE insulation.
Black LSZH inner sheath beneath CWB, SWB or SWA armour.
Thermoplastic PVC outer sheath and a listed single-cable flame-test reference.
Specify the screen and armour together. Screening describes the data core; armour provides a separate layer of mechanical protection. The complete cable has a PVC outer sheath, so use the related LSZH armoured range where a low-smoke zero-halogen outer sheath is required.
Does the LSZH inner sheath make this a fully LSZH construction?
The outer sheath specified here is PVC. The inner and outer sheath materials should be stated separately in the project schedule.
Which armour types can be selected?
Copper wire braid, steel wire braid or steel wire armour.
What data-core screen options are offered?
U/UTP, F/UTP and SF/UTP, with separate construction rows for each armour type.
How much does overall diameter vary?
The listed nominal diameters range from 7.68 to 9.76 mm, depending on screen and armour selection.
Is the listed flame test a circuit-integrity test?
BS EN 60332-1-2 addresses flame propagation on a single cable. Fire-resistant circuit-integrity requirements belong to a separate cable specification.
