Details

NETSET cables are compliant with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and EN 50575 harmonized European standard that specifies reaction to fire performance requirements, test and assessment methods for electric cables for use in construction works.
The requirements for using cables with a specific reaction to fire class in a given type of building should be based on a risk analysis made by the installation designer or other national formal and legal documents. The CPR Directive does not impose on the EU Member States the requirements for types of buildings and associated cables with specific fire reaction classes.
According to guidelines of the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers guidelines, CPR class B2ca cable must be installed in escape routes:
    High-rise buildings (WW) with a height of more than 55 m above ground level
  • High-rise buildings (W) with a height of more than 25 m to 55 m above ground level or residential buildings with the number of floors above ground level from 9 to 18 inclusive
  • Buildings in human risk category ZL I with rooms intended for simultaneous presence of more than 50 people who are not permanent users, and not intended primarily for use by people with reduced mobility
  • Buildings in human risk category ZL II – intended primarily for use by people with reduced mobility, such as hospitals, nurseries, kindergartens, nursing homes
  • Buildings in human risk category ZL III – commercial buildings not classified unser ZL I and ZL II
  • Buildings in human risk category ZL IV – residential
  • Buildings in human risk category ZL V – collective residence not classified under ZL I and ZL II
  • PM and IN buildings (production buildings, warehouses, livestock etc.).
NETSET U/FTP 6A is a top quality indoor FTP CAT 6A twisted-pair cable designed for use in professional computer networks inside buildings. Shielding layers made of aluminum foil minimize crosstalk between pairs and interference with the external environment.
Distinguishing features of NETSET U/FTP CAT 6A E1616 cable:
  • highest-quality materials, strict technological discipline confirmed by a 15-year quality guarantee,
  • parameters far exceeding the requirements for Category 6A twisted pair cables,
  • preliminary quality control of materials and thorough tests of the final product,
  • solid wires of 0.57 mm diameter (23 AWG),
  • wire insulation made of Skin-foam-skin PE; colors: white-green/green, white-orange/orange, white-brown/brown, white-blue/blue,
  • insulated wires twisted in pairs, shielded with aluminum foil,
  • sheath made of LSZH material of 7.4 mm diameter,
  • meter markers - length error less than 0.5%.

The NETSET U/FTP cat. 6A E1617 twisted pair cable has been manufactured in accordance with the standards:
  • General requirements for category 6A
    • ISO/IEC 11801:2011 (Ed. 2.2)
    • IEC 61156-5:2012 (Ed. 2.1)
    • EN 50173-1:2011
    • EN 50173-2:2007 A1:2010
    • EN 50288-10-1:2012
    • ANSI/TIA-568-C.2:2009
  • Flammability standards
    • IEC 60332-1-1:2015 (Ed. 1.1) / IEC 60332-1-2:2015 (Ed. 1.1)
    • IEC 60754-1:2011 (Ed. 3.0) / IEC 60754-2:2011 (Ed. 2.0)
    • IEC 61034-1:2013 (Ed. 3.1) / IEC 61034-2:2013 (Ed. 3.1)
  • Reaction to fire
    • Classification B2ca-s1a-d1-a1
    • EN 50575:2014 including amendment A1:2016
    • EN 60332-1-2:2004 including amendment A1:2015
    • EN 13501-6:2014
The cable comes with a 15-year warranty.

The manufacturer guarantees the stability of parameters for at least 15 years, on the condition that the cable is packed, transported, installed, and used according to adequate European standards (among others E-79100 and EN 50174-1), within the permissible environmental conditions.
The NETSET U/FTP Category 6A E1617 twisted pair cable is intended for use in an environment with temperature from -30oC to +50 oC. Installation temperature not lower than 0oC and not higher than +50oC. The bending radius should not be less than 8 times the outside diameter.
