Ethernet The Ethernet wiring system is covered by the IEEE
802-3 standard with a variety of cables to suit various installation criteria.
Cables range from the heavy quadruple screened trunk cable (Thick Ethernet) to Cheapernet which is a commercial grade RG58 with a yellow sheath and metre markings. |
For extensions to existing installations it may be
desirable to match the original cabling.
Duct grade versions can be manufactured in all the types for quantities from as little as 100 metres. |

UL style numbers are given for cross reference purposes only - not all the cables in this section are tested or approved by UL. If you require UL approved versions please tell us when you first enquire. At FSC we refer to LSHF as Low Smoke Halogen FreeThis term is interchangeable with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero
Halogen), LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), OHLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke)
and FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive). Beware of the terms LSF (Low
Smoke and Fume) or RP (Reduced Propogation), when relating to signal or
control cables will normally be modified PVC and produce 'Loads of Smoke
and Fume'!
Fire retardant, fire resistant, flame resistant or flame retardant?These terms are often misunderstood. Most cables when
exposed to fire will not carry on functioning. If you require cable to
continue working in the event of fire, and in accordance with various
standards please call us. |
