Product Usage Instructions
The BCLS-31 CAT 6A U/UTP 23AWG 650MHz Bulk Cable can be used for high- performance single cable transmission. The zigzag jacket design provides excellent performance of six around one bundle transmission. The round & smooth jacket without twisted stripe ensures safe usage, while the high- quality safety properties offer additional protection. The cable can be used for telecommunication cabling and components standards such as the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 (2009), information technology generic cabling for customer premises – ISO/IEC 11801 (Edition 2.2) and multi-element metallic cables used in analogue and digital communication and control – EN 50288-6-1:2013 (Part 6-1). The cable is available in wooden drums of 500m (1640ft) length. The minimum bending radius is four times the overall diameter, and the maximum pulling tension is 110N. The installation instructions can be found in the user manual. The BCLS-31 CAT 6A U/UTP 23AWG 650MHz Bulk Cable complies with various regulatory performance and safety standards such as IEC 60332-1-2 and EU Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS 2). It is recommended to use this cable only in a properly ventilated area due to the low smoke zero halogen material used for the jacket. Please refer to the user manual for additional information and usage instructions.
BCLS-31
CAT 6A U/UTP 23AWG 650MHz Bulk Cable − Low Smoke & Halogen Free
Introduction
Kramer’s BCLS−31 is a high−performance CAT6A U/UTP cable designed for IT, LAN and Ethernet installations. It is constructed with four pairs of 23AWG solid bare copper conductors with a cross filler in an LSZH jacket with internal rip cord and sequential markings every meter and packed on a fumigated plywood reel. The unique zigzag jacket design provides excellent performance of “six around one” bundle transmission. BCLS−31 cable exceeds CAT 6A specifications to provide additional performance and bandwidth beyond the basic standard
