CAT6 UTP LDPE JACKET

CAT6 UTP LDPE JACKET

OPTiLite Category 6 UTP cables are manufactured and tested to the TIA/EIA 568‐B.2‐1, EN50173‐1 and ISO/ IEC 11801 Category 6 specifications. Each cable consists of 8 colour coded 23AWG polyethylene insulated conductors. These are twisted together to form 4 pairs with varying lay lengths. These pairs are then formedaround a central ‘X’ shaped polyethylene filler. This filler assists in maintaining and enhancing the cables performance.

A jacket of UV and moisture resistant polyethelene is applied making this cable ideal for outdoor installation.

Due to the risk of lightning or over‐voltage damage both ends of the external cable must be fitted with equipment suitable for protecting the computer system and operators from a direct or indirect lightning strike or other overvoltage situation. These devices are available in many forms, but are usually system specific and you will need to contact the manufacturer of these devices to ensure the requirements of the network is met.
