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.
