Why This Cable Stands Out

BELFRC6ASF23UAZH, here’s what sets it apart:

🔥 180-Minute Fire Resistance

Tested to IEC 60331-23 and EN50200, this cable is designed to continue operating for up to 180 minutes under fire conditions. This ensures communication systems stay functional during evacuation, fire-alarm activation, emergency lighting control, and building management operations.

🛡️ Shielded for High-Performance Networks

The cable features:

  • Solid 23AWG bare copper conductors
  • S/FTP construction (each pair foil-screened + overall tinned copper braid at 55% coverage)
  • 500 MHz performance, suitable for Cat6A high-bandwidth applications
    This ensures excellent immunity from EMI/RFI — critical in today’s dense electrical and RF environments.

🌫️ Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)

The FR-LSZH jacket significantly reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gas emission. This makes it ideal for buildings where occupant and equipment protection is mandatory.

🌦 UV-Resistant & Tough in Harsh Conditions

Rated to operate from –20°C to +70°C, UV-resistant, and compliant with UL444 mechanical tests, this cable is durable enough for both indoor risers and protected outdoor pathways.

Where This Cable Is Typically Used

Fire-resistant, shielded Cat6A cable is not an everyday LAN cable — it’s chosen for environments where continuity of service during an emergency is essential.

Common Applications Include:

🏥 Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities

Ensures critical communication lines, PoE medical equipment links, and nurse-call systems remain operational during a fire.

🏗 Commercial Buildings & High-Rises

Used for emergency control circuits, fire-panel communication, evacuation systems, and essential network backbones that must not fail during an incident.

🚇 Transport Infrastructure (Rail, Tunnels, Airports)

Airports, rail stations, and tunnels require FR-LSZH cables for PA systems, CCTV, SCADA, and safety-critical monitoring networks.      BELFRC6ASF23UAZH Cat6a Fire Rated

🏭 Industrial Sites & Hazardous Facilities

Maintains data integrity for automation systems and high-noise electrical environments where shielding and fire resistance are mandatory.

🎤 Stadiums, Arenas & Public Venues

Supports AV control, security, and network infrastructure where large crowds require reliable emergency-rated cabling.

Why We’re Bringing It Back

Over recent months, our customers have highlighted growing requirements for:

  • Enhanced fire-rated network cabling in new building upgrades
  • Stronger shielding due to increased RF interference and dense equipment zones
  • Compliance with strict council or industry safety standards
  • Cabling that supports high-power PoE+, CCTV, building automation, and emergency communication on one platform

After seeing these trends rise again across New Zealand, we’ve reintroduced this Cat6A FR S/FTP option as a stocked product to support upcoming 2025–2026 infrastructure projects.
