Belden 50106AFLS, Industrial Ethernet CAT6A F/UTP LSZH SWA Outdoor Cable

Part Number: 50106AFLS

Belden 50106AFLS is a ruggedized industrial Ethernet Category 6A (CAT6A) cable engineered for outdoor, sunlight- and UV-exposed environments. It is built with 4 pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors in an F/UTP construction with a PET + Al-Mylar (aluminium facing outside) overall tape shield and a 26 AWG solid tinned copper drainwire. A steel wire armor (SWA) layer between dual Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jackets adds mechanical protection and rodent resistance, making it suited for harsh industrial routing. It supports Industrial Ethernet links between switches, IP controllers, media converters, distributed control systems, and programmable logic controllers.
