Description
This DataTuff® cable is a high-performance 100 MHz Category 5e shielded and foiled with unshielded twisted pair (SF/UTP) cable, featuring four bonded pair of 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors insulated with Polyolefin (PO), Beldfoil® plus tinned copper braid shield with drain wire, and a PVC outer jacket.
As a DataTuff cable, it is specifically engineered for maximum reliability in harsh industrial environments, offering superior resistance to sunlight and oil. Its dual rating of CMR (Riser) and CMX-Outdoor makes it suitable for both vertical indoor runs and exposed outdoor installations.
Belden supplies this cable on a standard crate pay-off reel, meaning it’s wound on a rigid spool that you place on a reel stand or jacks so the cable can rotate and feed out smoothly and evenly as you pull it into place.
