MEETING FR GOALS IN DATA CABLES WITH AN
ALTERNATIVE TO FEP
Maxxam FR materials can provide cost savings and improved
processing capabilities when used in category 5e cables
and above.
High flame performance and a low
dielectric constant keep our equipment safe and data
moving quickly.
THE SOLUTION
The manufacturer worked with Avient to identify
alternatives to FEP insulation that would meet
requirements in their data cable.
