520 Series CMP Cat 5e F/UTP Cable
TE520PF
CommScope‘s 520 Series Category 5e F/UTP plenum cables feature
the best in class AirES® technology. This patented design saves as much
as 32% of the available space in cable runs and is a key component
of the CommScope structured cabling system. The smaller diameter also
saves space in the communications closet, reduces the amount of cable
management accessories required and lowers the risk associated with fire
and smoke in the plenum space.
520 Series Category 5e F/UTP cables meet or exceed specifications of ANSI/TIA-568-C Category
5e and ISO/IEC 11801 Category 5e up to 350 MHz. The Category 5e F/UTP System complies
with all of the performance requirements for current and proposed applications such as Gigabit Ethernet
(1000BASE-Tx), 10/100BASE-Tx, token ring, 155 Mbps ATM, 100 Mbps TP-PMD, ISDN, analog and
digital video and analog and digital voice (VoIP).
520 Series Category 5e F/UTP cables are packaged on reels. Standard reel size is 1000 ft.
Addtional reel sizes are available upon request.
