Overview
Kramer's BCLS−33 is a high−performance CAT 6A F/UTP cable designed for IT, LAN and Ethernet installations. It is constructed with 23AWG solid bare copper conductors with a cross filler and overall metal foil screen with a drain wire. It is enclosed in an LSZH jacket with sequential markings every meter and packed on a fumigated plywood reel. BCLS−33 cable exceeds CAT 6A specifications to provide additional performance and bandwidth beyond the basic standard.
