Wiring specifications for many public buildings now call for LFH cables to be used in certain areas, notably in corridors, risers etc. Under combustion circumstances, LFH cables have a significantly reduced smoke emission, and the gaseous products contain no toxic halogens.

CAT5E-LFH is technically identical to standard CAT5E, except that PVC jackets are replaced by LFH materials. Both F/UTP (overall foil screened) and U/UTP (unscreened) versions are available.

Technical Specification:
Conductors: 1/0.51mm (24 AWG) plain copper
Insulation: Solid polyethylene
Lay-up: Two insulated conductors twisted together, pairs twisted together, according to Category Cable Colour Codes.
Screen: F/UTP: aluminium/polyester tape (aluminium side in), U/UTP: none
Drain wire: F/UTP: 1/0.4mm tinned copper wire, laid up with cores, U/UTP: none
Overall jacket: LFH material, grey, F/UTP: O.D. 6.0mm, U/UTP: 5.5mm
Minimum bending radius: 60mm
Impedance: 100 ± 15 ohms
Conductor resistance: 9.4 ohms/100m
Velocity ratio: 76%
Attenuation: 1.9dB/100m (1MHz)
6.0dB/100m (10MHz)
19.8dB/100m (100MHz)
Near end crosstalk: 71dB (1MHz)
56dB (10MHz)
41dB (100MHz)
Weight: F/UTP: 4.0kg/100m, U/UTP: 3.4kg/100m
Reel length: Box-paks of 305 metres
