Category 5e UTP/4 Pair

Horizontal Cable
Tested to 100 MHz
Riser (FT4) and Plenum (FT6) rated

Description
Nexans' Standard Category 5e UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cables are designed for horizontal network and voice applications in a structured cabling network to connect between the user outlet and horizontal cross-connect.

Construction
0.52 mm (24 AWG), bare copper wire insulated with polyethylene (non-plenum) or FEP (plenum).  Two insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair and four such pairs cabled to form the basic unit, jacketed with flame-retardant PVC.

Standards

North American ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2
Category 5e and Category 5
International ISO/IEC 11801 Category 5
European EN 50173

Flame Rating
Non-Plenum -- UL 1666, CMR, CMG, IEC 332-1, FT4
Plenum -- NFPA 262, CMP, FT6
