The Draka UC400 Cat.6 U/UTP SD LSHF Dca is a high-performance cable designed to meet the stringent demands of today’s data communication networks. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable offers Category 6 performance for reliable network connectivity, making it an ideal solution for both commercial and industrial environments.
Key Benefits:
- Category 6 Compliance: Ensures high-speed data transfer rates suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols, supporting bandwidths up to 250 MHz.
- Unshielded Design: The U/UTP configuration minimizes bulk and enhances flexibility, making installation easier in tight spaces and complex routing scenarios.
- Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF): Manufactured with a low smoke zero halogen sheath, it significantly reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gas emitted during combustion. This feature is crucial for maintaining safer environments in case of fire.
- Standard Displacement: Designed for horizontal and backbone installations, it is ideal for use in a variety of architectural setups including data centers, office buildings, and industrial zones.
- Euroclass Dca Certification: Complies with European standards for fire safety, carrying a Dca rating that indicates a moderate degree of fire safety combined with lower smoke production.
- Robust and Durable: Engineered for enhanced durability and resistance to environmental factors, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
