CAT5E F/UTP LSZH/GSWB/LSZH Cable
Tactical Ethernet Cable

Tactical Ethernet cables are indispensable in scenarios where reliable and robust networking solutions are required under challenging conditions. Their specialized design ensures they perform well in a variety of demanding environments, making them a crucial component in military, broadcasting, industrial, emergency services, and other outdoor applications.

Combining Galvanized Steel Wire Braid (GSWB),Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheathing and Plastic Laminated Aluminium screening in a cable leverages the benefits of all technologies, creating a cable that is mechanically robust, safe in fire conditions, and suitable for use in harsh indoor or outdoor environments.

For analogue and digital transmission in the frequency range up to 100MHz.

Benefits of GSWB:

Mechanical Strength and Durability:

Enhanced Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid provides excellent mechanical protection against physical damage such as crushing, impacts, and abrasion.

Longevity: GSWB cables are highly durable and can withstand rough handling, making them ideal for industrial and outdoor applications.

Electromagnetic Shielding:

EMI Protection: The steel wire braid acts as a shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity and reducing noise in data and power transmissions.

Corrosion Resistance:

Galvanized Coating: The galvanization (zinc coating) of the steel wires offers good resistance to corrosion, making the cable suitable for outdoor and industrial environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals is common.

Benefits of LSZH

Safety in Fire Conditions:

Low Smoke Emission: LSZH cables emit minimal smoke when exposed to fire, enhancing visibility and reducing the risk of smoke inhalation during evacuation.

Zero Halogen Emission: These cables do not release toxic halogen gases (e.g., chlorine, fluorine, bromine) when burned, minimizing health risks and equipment damage due to corrosive gases.

Environmental Benefits:

Non-Toxic: The absence of halogens makes LSZH cables environmentally friendly and safer for human health.

Compliance with Safety Regulations: LSZH cables often meet stringent fire safety regulations required in many public and commercial buildings.

Benefits of F/UTP Shielding

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Protection:

Enhanced Signal Integrity: The foil shield provides a barrier against external electromagnetic interference, which helps maintain the integrity of the signal being transmitted through the cable. This is particularly important in environments with high levels of EMI, such as industrial settings or data centers.

Reduced Crosstalk: Minimized Inter-Pair Interference: Although F/UTP cables do not have individual shielding for each pair, the overall foil shield reduces the potential for crosstalk between pairs and between adjacent cables. This ensures clearer and more reliable data transmission.

Improved Data Security: Protection from Eavesdropping: The foil shield not only blocks EMI but also makes it more difficult for unauthorized parties to intercept data signals. This enhances the security of the transmitted information, which is crucial for sensitive data transmissions.

Compatibility and Flexibility: Easier Installation: Compared to cables with individual pair shielding (such as S/FTP), F/UTP cables are typically more flexible and easier to install. They can be routed through tight spaces and bends without significant difficulty.

Standard Connectors: F/UTP cables can use standard RJ45 connectors and do not require special grounding considerations, making them compatible with a wide range of network equipment and easier to implement.
