APPLICATIONS

FTP-H kat.5e 4x2x0,5 mm cable is intended for multimedia computer networks (data, sound and HDTV transmission), including structural wiring of buildings, applied in industrial and other dedicated networks sensitive to electromagnetic interferences.

The cable is protected by an overall electrostatic shield against external electric interferences and prevents emission of interferences produced in the cable.

The cables are also applied in computer networks of increased binary transfer where simultaneous transmission in both directions in all 4 symmetrical circuits is used (full duplex, Gigabit Ethernet technique).

Halogen free material sheathed cable is applied in locations where, in case of fire, higher safety for human beings and property is required. The cable is flame retardant and its smoke emission is low, emitted fumes are non toxic and non corrosive.

The cables are suitable for fixed indoor installations.
