DAD LINK SF/UTP Cat.6 Network Cable – 305 m of 23 AWG solid bare copper carrying both a foil screen and a braided screen over four twisted pairs. The highest shielding level in the Cat.6 range.
SF/UTP is specified for industrial environments with heavy electromagnetic interference: factories, power substations, hospitals with MRI equipment, oil and gas facilities, and any run within 1 m of three-phase distribution or variable-frequency drives. The braid gives low-impedance grounding continuity; the foil gives broadband coverage across the Cat.6 range. LSZH sheath for occupied indoor spaces — low smoke, zero halogen when burning.
