CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
PVC
UTP Very common jacket and over mold compound used in
Used in controlled environments with very basic small office/home office (SOHO), small to medium
little to no EMI/RFI. Used in home, small business (SMB) and Enterprise network applications. PVC
office and Enterprise business networks. burns rapidly and releases hazardous gases when burned.
Applications consist of general open space connectivity
(not used in walls or ceilings).

Shielded LSZH
For environments where EMI/RFI is Low Smoke Zero Halogen cables produce very little smoke
present, such as near motors, generators when burned and release no halogen compounds including
and other "noise" generating machines. Fluorine, Chlorine, and Bromine. This type of cabling is
typically used in confined spaces where human lives and
expensive communications equipment reside. LSZH is used
on ships, submarines, aircraft, terrestrial vehicles etc.
Double Shielded
Used in extremely high EMI/RFI Plenum
environments such as factories and Plenum cabling is used in buildings in the plenum air space
processing plants where “noise” usually above ceiling tiles or in the plenum airspace under
generating equipment including the flooring in a server room or data closet. Plenum cables
generators, power transmission lines, will self extinguish and not re-ignite.
and electric motors are present.
PUR/TPE
PUR (polyurethane) and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
High Flex cabling are typically used in harsh or Industrial Ethernet
Used in continuous motion applications networking applications where the presence of petroleum
such as a robot arm control cable in a based contaminants, UV rays, and physical impacts
manufacturing environment. occur. Applications include oil refineries, factory floor,
manufacturing, processing industries (food and chemical)
etc.
