CMR cables are designed for vertical cabling between building floors and meet safety standards to help prevent the spread of fire. CMP cables are applicable for areas with strict fire safety requirements, particularly where air circulation is a concern, providing the highest level of fire resistance. CM jacket ratings are suitable for general-purpose cabling within buildings, offering a less stringent level of fire resistance, making them suitable for areas where fire safety is less critical.
Some of the other options C2G’s Bulk Ethernet Category Cable line features include both unshielded and shielded options. Unlike the unshielded cable (UTP), the shielded F/UTP (Foiled Unshielded Twisted Pair) includes an integrated metal foil screen with a drain wire, which the Legrand connectivity brand says, reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. This design C2G also suggests, ensures improved signal transmission and minimal data errors.
C2G adds that its Bulk Ethernet Category Cable is delivered in new packaging that uses less cardboard and less plastic while delivering a smooth, hassle-free cable-pulling experience that helps improve productivity. The slim packaging reduces cardboard waste, while its inner spool design uses less plastic and delivers a tangle-free cable-pulling experience.
The slimmer package also allows shipment and storage of more cable in the same amount of space as before. Because more boxes fit onto each pallet, companies can potentially save on shipping costs.
