Van Damme Aqua Series Marine Grade SeaCat 8 way Cat 5E S/FTP & 4way OM3 fibre multicore

The Van Damme SeaCat range comprises two cables for networking installations - a 4 way Cat 5E screened solid conductor multicore and an 8 way version which also contains a 4 way OM3 multimode fibre for potential 10G Ethernet applications. As with the SeaCat multicore these cables are Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacketed and are fire retardant and fire resistant making them ideal for public building and marine installations. The 8 way multicore is an ideal solution for multiple data line installations as the included OM3 fibre can be simply left unterminated for future networking upgrades - particularly useful in the marine sector where cable pulls travel through waterproof and fireproof bulkheads making cable upgrades difficult and expensive to retrofit.

Applications
• Installed distribution of 100Mbs and Gigabit Ethernet
• 278-458-400 8 way multicore has an integral 4 way OM3 fibre for 10G Ethernet fibre based networking
