Cat.6A SSTP (S/FTP) shielded patch cable is used in network applications such as 10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000Base-T, 10,000Base-T Ethernet up to 100 meters. Cat6A cables are designed for 10Gigabit applications.

• 4-pair 26 AWG stranded pure copper wire
• Each pair foil shielded / 4 pair braid shielded
• RJ45 shielded plug with 50 micron gold plating contacts
• CM type PVC
• Compliant with TIA/EIA standard by UL and ETL; RoHS Compliant
• T568B standard wiring

Category 6A cable, in accordance to the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard, is tested from 1 to 500MHz. This wide range of frequency is required to handle the frequencies at with 10GBase-T (10 gigabit Ethernet) operates. As a result of the higher frequencies utilized by 10GBase-T, alien crosstalk performance parameters are incorporated into the TIA/EIA standard for Category 6A cable and connectivity. Alien crosstalk occurs when signal from a cable jumps to an adjacent cable. Alien crosstalk, like crosstalk that occurs between the pairs within a cable, will have a detrimental impact on cable’s ability to send and receive data packets. Category 6A is the first cable category standard to include alien crosstalk performance parameters. Shielded cables eliminate the crosstalk!
