Application

Tailored for industrial use, the CATLine CAT 6A R flex series delivers long-lasting performance in railway and automation projects. These continuous flex, low smoke halogen-free (LSHF) SABIX® CAT 6A Ethernet cables feature colored star quad stranded conductors or twisted pairs, designed in compliance with EN 45545-2 railway standards. Rated for 90 V and up to 90°C, they are built with a special SABIX® jacket that ensures exceptional durability under harsh operating conditions. Certified to EN 45545-2, UN/ECE R118, CE, and RoHS, the CATLine 6A R flex series meets stringent international safety requirements. It complies with fire protection requirements R15 (EL1A) and R16 (EL1B) for Hazard Levels 1–3, making it fully suited for railway environments. With excellent oil and fuel resistance, this cable is engineered for CAT 6A control systems in trains and railway infrastructure, combining technical strength with flexibility to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable data transmission.
