specifications
Category 6 OSP cable shall meet the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2
and IEC 61156-5 Category 6 component standards. The
conductors shall be 23 AWG construction with polyolefin
insulation. The cable shall have a gel-filled construction
to prevent moisture migration in underground and wet
applications and a wide temperature range for extreme
weather environments. The copper conductors shall be
twisted in pairs, separated by a pair separator and
covered with a UV-resistant and abrasion-resistant
polyethylene (PE) jacket. Product is to be used in duct
and conduit installations only. Not to be used in aerial
or direct burial applications.

*To designate a color, add suffix IW (Off White), EI
(Electric Ivory), IG (International Gray), WH (White), BL
(Black), OR (Orange), RD (Red), BU (Blue), GR
(Green), YL (Yellow), or VL (Violet).
^For lengths 1 to 20 feet (increments of one foot) and
25, 30, 35, 40 feet, change the length designation in part
number to the desired length. For standard cable colors
other than Off White, add suffix BL (Black), BU (Blue),
GR (Green), RD (Red), YL (Yellow), OR (Orange), or VL
(Violet) before Y at the end of the part number. For
example, the part number for a blue, 15-foot patch cord
is UTPSP15BUY.
^^For lengths 1 to 10 meters (increments of one meter)
and 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 15, 20 meters, change the length
designation in the part number to the desired length.
For standard cable colors other than Off White, add
suffix BL (Black), BU (Blue), RD (Red), YL (Yellow), GR
(Green), OR (Orange), or VL (Violet) before Y at the
end of the part number. For example, the part number
for a blue, 5-meter patch cord is UTPSP5MBUY.
