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.

*These types can be supplied in Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) versions to order
Duct grade versions can be manufactured in all the above types for quantities as low 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 Free

This 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.
