APPLICATION
Cat5E is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for basic voice
and data installations up to 100 MHz. In addition, these cables can be offered with copper wire
braid armoured & flame retardant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still
maintaining the flexibility of the cable.
