The PowerCat 6 UTP Cable B2ca-s1a,d1,a1 is a high-performance unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed to meet stringent fire safety standards with a Euroclass B2ca rating for flame spread and smoke emission (s1a), along with low acidity (d1) and low corrosivity (a1). The cable typically comes in a 500-meter length reel and is commonly available in yellow, making it suitable for easy identification in installations. Its LS0H (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) construction ensures minimal toxic smoke in case of fire, enhancing safety in environments where fire risk is critical.
This PowerCat 6 cable is ideal for high-speed data transmission, supporting advanced network applications in commercial and industrial settings where safety and performance are paramount. The B2ca-s1a,d1,a1 rating confirms its compliance with the latest European fire reaction standards, making it suitable for use in buildings requiring high fire safety compliance.
This product is available in EU only.
