Fire Resistant UTP CAT5e Data Cables

The cables are designed for structure wiring, compatible with all known connection systems according to EN

50173.

Based on the design for structured wiring (found in IEC 61156 and BS EN 50288), this cable brings together high

frequency data transmission and circuit integrity in four pair cable that will continue to transmit data even when

being directly attacked by ﬁre.
