Overview

The Belden 50106FLS is a ruggedized Cat 6 industrial Ethernet cable, built for harsh environments requiring high-performance networking. It features a solid bare copper conductor for reliable signal transmission, an overall foil shield (F/UTP) for interference protection, and steel wire armor (SWA) for added durability. The dual LSZH jackets make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including direct burial. Data sheet
