Overview

Kramer's BCLS−11 is a high−performance CAT 5E U/UTP cable designed for IT, LAN and Ethernet installations. BCLS−11 is constructed with four pairs of 24AWG solid bare copper conductors in an LSZH jacket with internal rip cord and sequential markings every meter. It is packed in a Reelex II carton for easy to pull−out. BCLS−11 exceeds CAT 5E specifications to provide additional performance and bandwidth beyond the basic standard.

Features

• High–Performance Transmission.
• High–Quality Safety Properties.
• Sweep Frequency up to 350 MHz.
• Length — Available in Reelex II Cartons of 305m (1000ft).
