The Hermesys ChimeraX™ Armored Cat6A Data Cable is an F/UTP shielded data cable built with a spiral steel wire armour and a fire-retardant nylon outer jacket, engineered for structured cabling runs that face physical, rodent, or termite risk.
Key Features and Benefits
- 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors with PE insulation
- F/UTP construction with Al/Mylar overall shield and tinned copper drain wire
- PE cross-separator filler for consistent pair geometry
- Water-blocking tape beneath the armour for moisture protection
- 0.90 mm galvanized steel wire spiral armour, ≥90% coverage
- PE inner and intermediate jackets, fire-retardant nylon outer jacket
- Anti-termite and anti-rodent construction for direct-burial and outdoor duct runs
- Fixed minimum bending radius of 20×D
- Wide operating range from -40°C to +75°C
- Supplied on wooden drums, standard delivery length 500 m
Typical Applications
