DRAKA CAT5E DATA CABLE Solid conductor - Low fire hazard

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
