APPLICATION
The cables are desgined 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 a one pair, two pair and four pair cable that will continue to transmit data even when being directly attacked by fire.
