Avaya achieves Cat 6 performance with limited-combustible cable

Avaya (www.avaya.com) has announced the availability of a limited-combustible cable that meets Draft 9 of the TIA/EIA Category 6 performance specifications.

The Systimax GigaSpeed 4070 limited-combustible cable is jacketed and insulated with FEP, which generates extremely low smoke during fire situations. The new cable also has a flame-spread distance of less than six inches.

"The fire safety of the GigaSpeed 4070 cable is ideal for environments such as health care facilities, schools, financial and banking institutions, data centers, government agencies, and public utilities," says Chin Choi-Feng, Systimax business development manager. "The electrical performance of the GigaSpeed 4070 cable also meets the needs for these types of environments since high-speed, high-bandwidth, and high-reliability networks are often required."
