Cat5E UTP/FTP Armoured Data Cable
Applications
Cat5E Cable is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for basic voice and data installations up to 100 MHz. In addition, these cables are with tinned copper wire braid armoured & flame retardant mud resistant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still maintaining the flexibility of the cable.
