Figure 4-4 Structure of the FC Robust Cable
FC Robust Cable 6XV1 830-0JH10
The FC robust cable 6XV1 830-0JH10 with its PUR sheath complies with the
specification EN 50170, cable type A, with solid copper cores (22 gauge). The
inner structure of the cable (cores, filler, shielding) is identical to that of the
standard cable.
The structure of the cable allows the use of the FastConnect (FC) stripping tool for
fast stripping of the cable (see Section 4.2.3).
Properties
The characteristics of the PUR sheath material differ from those of the standard
LAN cable as follows:
S
Improved resistance to abrasion
S
Improved resistance to oil and lubricants
S
Resistant to UV radiation
S
The sheath material is flame resistant
Uses
The FC robust cable with its PUR sheath is particularly suitable for use in areas
where it is exposed to chemicals and mechanical strain. It is designed for fixed
installation within buildings (in-house cabling).
