The product is compliant with ISO/IEC 11801 (Edition 2.2), IEC 61156-5 (Edition 2.0), EN 50288-6-1:2013, EN 50173-1:2011, IEC 60332-1-2, IEC 61034-1/61034-2, IEC 60754-2, EU Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS 2), EU Directive 2006/95/EC (LVD), and CE compliance date: 2010.01.01.

Product Usage Instructions:

• The BCLS-45RD-5 cable is designed for use in generic cabling systems for customer premises, multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables for digital communications, and multi-element metallic cables used in analogue and digital communication and control. Thecable is suitable for horizontal floor wiring and building backbone cables. It is recommended to use the cable in accordance with the regulatory safety requirements mentioned in the product manual.
• The cable has a minimum bending radius of 4 times of overall diameter and a maximum pulling tension of 110N. It is advised to handle the cable with care during installation and avoid excessive bending or pulling. The product manual also recommends testing the cable’s performance using appropriate testing equipment and methods to ensure it meets the required specifications.

Kramer’s BCLS−45 is a high−performance CAT 7 S/FTP cable designed for IT, LAN and Ethernet installations. It is constructed with 23AWG solid bare copper conductors where each pair is individually shielded with metal foil screen and the entire cable is shielded with a tinned copper braid. It is enclosed in an LSZH jacket with sequential markings every meter and packed on a fumigated plywood reel. BCLS−45 cable exceeds CAT 7 specifications to provide additional performance and bandwidth beyond the basic standard
