specifications
Category 5e cable shall meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category
5e component standard. The conductors shall be 24 AWG
construction with FEP/polyolefin (CMP) or polyolefin (CMR)
insulation. The copper conductors shall be twisted in pairs
covered by a low smoke, flame retardant (CMP) PVC jacket
or a flame retardant (CMR) PVC jacket.
Third party tested Cable has been tested as part of the Category 5e UTP
Copper Cabling System by an independent laboratory and
complies with the electrical channel requirements of the
following standard: ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 5e
Descending length Easy identification of remaining cable reduces installation
cable markings time and cable scrap
Tested beyond the standards Cable has been characterized to 350 MHz, 250 MHz above
the standard
Easy payout carton Ensures proper performance and provides quick installation
