R&M CAT6 U/UTP LSZH Cable Box

R&M CAT6 U/UTP LSZH Cable Box — Swiss-Engineered Network Cabling Built for Serious Installations

There’s a moment every network installer in Bangladesh knows too well — you’ve pulled cable through conduit, terminated every port, and fired up the switch, only to see link lights flickering or Gigabit speeds that refuse to materialize. Nine times out of ten, the culprit isn’t the switch or the patch panel. It’s the cable. And that’s exactly why the choice of installation cable matters far more than most buyers realize until it’s too late.

]R&M CAT6 U/UTP LSZH Cable Box from Reichle & De-Massari (R&M) — a Swiss company with over six decades of cabling expertise — is one of those products that earns trust the moment it’s on the job. This is Category 6 structured cabling at its most reliable: designed for generic cabling systems in commercial buildings, data centers, hospitals, government offices, and enterprise networks where performance consistency, safety compliance, and long-term durability aren’t negotiable.

Each box contains 305 meters of bare solid copper conductors — not copper-clad aluminum, not a local approximation — organized as 4 twisted pairs in a U/UTP (unshielded) configuration with a cross separator to maintain pair geometry and minimize crosstalk even at the cable’s rated frequency ceiling of 250 MHz. That’s the standard bandwidth for Cat6, and R&M’s conductor geometry and jacket tolerances are tight enough to support it consistently across every meter of the pull, not just the first few.

What really distinguishes this particular cable from ordinary CAT6 products flooding the Bangladeshi market is the jacket material. LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath is a critical safety specification for enclosed environments — office floors, server rooms, ceiling plenums, hospital corridors, and school buildings. In the event of a fire, standard PVC-jacketed cable releases dense black smoke and toxic halogen gases that are as dangerous to building occupants as the fire itself. LSZH jackets suppress this — producing minimal smoke and no halogenated combustion products — which is why LSZH cabling is mandatory under fire safety codes for many building types in Europe and increasingly specified by architects and consultants in Bangladesh’s commercial construction sector.

Cable carries part number R195731, uses AWG23 solid copper conductors, and features a 4-pair stranding configuration with an outer diameter of 5.8mm ± 0.4mm. The jacket is metal-free, zero-halogen, and flame-retardant — meeting the international standards that matter most to structured cabling consultants, building managers, and project engineers specifying compliant infrastructure for long-term deployments.

For IT contractors in Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, and beyond who are tendering for corporate office fit-outs, hospital network upgrades, factory floor cabling, or school connectivity projects, specifying R&M cable is often the difference between winning a contract and losing it on quality grounds. This is Swiss-made infrastructure, manufactured to tolerances that support 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and PoE applications without compromise.

Why You Buy R&M CAT6 U/UTP LSZH Cable Box

• LSZH Jacket Meets Fire Safety Standards That Standard PVC Cable Cannot — In Bangladesh’s expanding commercial real estate and healthcare sectors, fire safety compliance is increasingly scrutinized by architects, consultants, and project authorities. The LSZH jacket on this R&M cable produces dramatically reduced smoke density and zero toxic halogen gases when exposed to flame — making it the mandatory choice for server rooms, false ceilings, hospital wings, shopping malls, and enclosed public spaces where occupant safety during a fire event is a legal and moral requirement, not an afterthought.
• Swiss-Certified 250MHz Performance Eliminates Rework Costs on Large Projects — One of the most expensive problems in commercial network installations is discovering after termination that the cable doesn’t certify — failing NEXT, attenuation, or return loss tests because of inconsistent conductor geometry or substandard jacket compounds. R&M’s tight manufacturing tolerances, verified against ISO/IEC 11801, IEC 61156-5, and TIA 568-C.2, mean this cable passes certification testing on the first run, protecting contractors and consultants from costly rework, delayed handovers, and client disputes on high-value projects across Bangladesh.
• 305-Metre Dispenser Box Reduces Waste and Speeds Up Installation on Site — The pull-out dispenser box design is a practical field advantage that anyone who’s wrestled with a tangled cable drum on a busy installation site will appreciate immediately. The box feeds cable cleanly without kinking, coiling, or tangling during long pulls — reducing material waste, protecting the cable from mechanical stress during installation, and allowing a single installer to manage longer runs without a second person managing the drum. For contractors working across multiple floors or long horizontal cable runs in Dhaka commercial buildings, this efficiency adds up across every box.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between R&M CAT6 U/UTP LSZH and FRPVC cable boxes in Bangladesh? The key difference is the jacket material — the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) variant uses a specially compounded outer sheath that produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases during combustion, making it essential for enclosed buildings, server rooms, hospitals, and public spaces where fire safety standards are critical; the FRPVC (Flame Retardant PVC) variant is flame-resistant but does release some smoke and halogenated gases, making it better suited for external conduit runs or areas where LSZH compliance isn’t specifically mandated.

Q2: Can R&M CAT6 U/UTP LSZH cable support PoE (Power over Ethernet) and IP camera installations? Yes — the AWG23 bare solid copper conductors, tight conductor resistance specification of ≤ 9.38 Ω/100m, and robust pair geometry make this cable fully suitable for PoE (802.3af/at) applications including IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and PoE lighting systems, while simultaneously carrying Gigabit data — which is exactly why it’s widely specified in Bangladesh for combined IP surveillance and LAN infrastructure projects.

Q3: Where can I buy R&M CAT6 U/UTP LSZH Cable Box in Bangladesh and what is the price? The R&M CAT6 U/UTP LSZH Cable Box (305m, Part No. R195731) is available from authorized networking equipment distributors and IT retailers across Bangladesh — including shops in Dhaka’s IDB Bhaban, Multiplan Centre, and Elephant Road, as well as major online platforms — with market pricing currently ranging from approximately ৳16,500 to ৳19,500 per box depending on the supplier; contact your nearest authorized R&M dealer for current stock availability and project-volume pricing.
