Kramer BCLS-33 CAT 6A F/UTP LSZH Bulk Cable Owner’s Manual

Kramer BCLS-33 CAT 6A F/UTP LSZH Bulk Cable

Product Information

The BCLS-33 is a high-performance CAT 6A F/UTP cable designed for IT, LAN, and Ethernet installations. This cable is constructed with 23AWG solid bare copper conductors with cross filler, and overall metal foil screen with a drain wire. It is enclosed in an LSZH jacket with sequential markings every meter and packed on a fumigated plywood reel. The BCLS-33 cable exceeds CAT 6A specifications to provide additional performance and bandwidth beyond the basic standard.

Product Usage Instructions

• The BCLS-33 is designed for IT, LAN, and Ethernet installations. It is suitable for use in horizontal and backbone cabling applications up to 1000 MHz. The cable is suitable for use in low smoke zero halogen environments that require a higher level of safety.
• The cable can be easily installed using standard cable installation methods. Please note that the minimum bending radius is four times the overall diameter, and the maximum pulling tension is 110N. When installing the cable, ensure that it is not subjected to excessive tension or bending, which could damage the cable and reduce performance.
• The cable is available in a length of 500m (1640ft) and comes packed on a fumigated plywood reel. The sequential markings every meter make it easy to measure and cut the cable to the desired length.
• For optimal performance, it is recommended to follow the regulatory performance and safety standards listed in the product information section above.
