Excel External Cat6 U/UTP Network Cable, 305m Box, Solid Copper, Black PE, Fca

This is a 305 metre box of Excel Cat6 U/UTP network cable with a black polyethylene (PE) sheath, made for external runs. CCTV, PoE and VoIP phones are among its uses, so it suits the cable runs to network cameras.

Inside are eight solid bare-copper conductors, 23 AWG, twisted into four pairs around a central X-shaped PE core. The cable has no overall or conductor screening. It is made and tested to the TIA/EIA 568-B.2-1, EN 50173-1 and ISO/IEC 11801 Cat6 specifications.

Its reaction-to-fire class under EN 13501-6 is Fca. The cable is made to meet the Construction Products Regulation, and Fca cable can be used in buildings with moderate fire safety requirements. The cable is also flame retardant to EN 60332-1-2 and EN 50399. Check the requirements for your building before you choose a cable.

Because the conductors are solid, this cable is meant for fixed runs that end in a keystone jack, a patch panel or a pass-through RJ45 plug. It is not made for a flexible patch lead that is moved often.

You cut the cable to the length you need at each camera, so a 305m box suits a job with several camera runs. The Cat5e box of the same make is a separate product in this shop.
