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. |
