HellermannTyton Connectivity Ethernet Cable, 5m Cable Length, Cat6 LAN Category - 851-16321 RJ45SPC6-05.0M/WH (5.0)

This ethernet cable provides reliable data connectivity for structured network installations, designed for patching within local area networks. It is a Category 6 solution intended for use in environments where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required, and it operates across a wide ambient temperature range to suit varied site conditions.

Features and Benefits:

• Stranded copper conductors deliver flexible handling for frequent moves
  Unscreened construction reduces cost for non-interference environments
  28AWG conductor size supports compact cable management in racks
  Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket minimises toxic emissions during combustion
  Rated to operate between -20°C and 70°C for harsh temperature ranges

Applications

• Suitable for connecting switches to workstations in office cabling
  Ideal for temporary site networks where flexibility is required
  Used with patch panels in comms cabinets for horizontal cabling
  Can be used for network equipment interconnects in plant rooms

What standards does it meet for structured cabling performance?

It conforms to BS/EN 50173 and ISO/IEC 11801 performance criteria for Cat6 installations.

How thick is the cable and why does that matter for routing?

The outside diameter is 3.8mm which aids tight routing in cable trays and underfloor ducts.

What jacket material is used and what is its safety role?

The sheath is Low Smoke Zero Halogen to limit smoke density and corrosive gas release in fires.

Is the cable shielded and how does that affect use?

It is unscreened so it is suited to environments without significant electromagnetic interference.
