Reliable Performance in Tough Environments

Designed with galvanized steel wire armouring, this CAT 6 cable excels in areas prone to physical damage or exposure to harsh outdoor elements. The robust construction ensures high tensile strength and weather resistance, making it suitable for underground and direct burial. Its solid copper cores deliver stable gigabit data rates, even in demanding conditions, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for industrial and data centre applications.

Versatile Applications and High Standards

Engineered to comply with leading international standards (TIA/EIA 568-C.2, ISO/IEC 11801), this cable meets the needs of diverse installations, from outdoor networks to sensitive industrial environments. It offers options for unshielded (UTP) or foil shielded (FTP) versions, excellent fire retardancy (IEC 60332-1), and RoHS/REACH compliance, ensuring safety, performance, and versatility across various uses.

FAQ's of CAT 6 ARMOURED CABLE:

Q: How does the galvanized steel wire armour (SWA) enhance the cable's protection?

A: The galvanized steel wire armour (SWA) provides high mechanical protection, shielding the cable against physical impacts, rodent attacks, and harsh environmental conditions. This makes the cable suitable for underground, direct burial, and outdoor installations, ensuring durability and consistent performance.

Q: What are the main benefits of using CAT 6 armoured cable with SWA over standard network cables?

A: CAT 6 armoured cables with SWA offer enhanced durability, superior mechanical protection, and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and UV exposure. They deliver reliable gigabit data transmission, up to 1 Gbps, and are suitable for installations where cables may be exposed to risks not encountered in typical indoor environments.

Q: When should I choose the FTP (foil shielded) option over UTP (unshielded) for this cable?

A: Choose the FTP (foil shielded) version if your installation area is subject to significant electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI), such as in industrial or data centre environments. The shielding helps prevent signal disruptions and maintains optimal data integrity.

Q: Where is this armoured cable most commonly installed?

A: This cable is ideal for outdoor networking, industrial zones, data centres, underground, or direct burial applications. Its robust design also supports installations in ducts and conduits where additional protection from mechanical stress and environmental exposure is essential.

Q: What precautions should be taken during the installation process?

A: Ensure the minimum bend radius (4 times the cable diameter) is maintained and avoid excessive pulling forces. Proper sealing and termination, such as with suitable IP67-rated connectors, helps prevent water ingress and maintains the cable's integrity in challenging conditions.

Q: What compliance and safety standards does the cable meet?

A: The cable is built to international standards, including TIA/EIA 568-C.2, ISO/IEC 11801, RoHS, REACH, and fire retardancy as per IEC 60332-1. These guarantee safety, performance, and environmental responsibility in various applications.
