Category 6A S-FTP Cable
SKU: CS-C6ASF23
4 Pair 23awg Cat 6A S-FTP Cable.
CONTECH's Category 6A S/FTP cables exceed Category 6A / Class E A specification. It is tested to 500 MHz frequency range and designed to support 10 Gigabyte applications to full 100 m. Extremely high pair-balance providing excellent EMC (Electro Magnetic compatibility), minimizing radiation, maximizing noise immunity and providing high alien cross talk performance to F/FTP cabling systems. S/FTP (Twisted Pair – overall shielded and individual Foil shield) cabling systems are installed for improved Alien Cross talk performance.
Applications:
- Enterprise & Data Centre Networks: 10G Ethernet (10GBASE-T) backbone cabling.
- Residential & Commercial AV/IT & Financial Deployments.
- Education & Healthcare Facilities
- High-Speed PoE++ (802.3bt) Applications
- Future-Proof Installations
Key Features:
- Cat 6A supports frequencies up to 500 MHz .
- Cat6A Supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 m — ideal for data centers, enterprise LANs, and server rooms.
- S-FTP: Each pair is individually shielded, and an overall Foil shield reduces crosstalk and EMI (electromagnetic interference).
- Suitable for Power over Ethernet applications (PoE/PoE+/4PPoE) according to IEEE 802.3af, IEEE ,802.3at and 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++)up to 90W.
- The optional outer LSZH jacket is flame-retardant and produces minimal smoke and zero halogen gases during combustion.
Standard:
- ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA.
- EN 50173-1 & EN 50288-11-1
- ANSI/TIA-568.2-D
- IEC 60332-1, (LSZH Version).
- RoHS & CE
