Highly expanded LAN cables bring improved electrical performances and cost reduction

$15.00

Maillefer has improved the Extrucell physical foaming process to surpass the commonly accepted expansion limits LAN cable production. An expansion rate of 70 percent is now attainable on LAN Cat 6 or Cat 7 constructions, resulting in cables with superior electrical properties and material savings. The development was done principally on the reduction of the cell structure through improvements on resin processing and material flow.
