Specifications

Category 6A cable shall be constructed of 23 AWG copper conductors with PE CM, CMR or LSZH insulation. The copper conductors shall be twisted in pairs and separated by an integrated pair separator. All four pairs shall be surrounded by an overall metallic foil shield within a low smoke zero halogen jacket. The TX6A™ 10Gig™ Shielded Copper Cable must be installed as part of a complete TX6A™ 10Gig™ Shielded Copper Cabling System to achieve 10GBASE-T certified performance.

key features and benefits

Integrated pair divider:

Separates pairs for exceptional cable performance

Overall foil shield:

Provides superior structural integrity and reduces low
frequency external interference to ensure exceptional cable
performance at all swept frequencies up to 500 MHz

Internal drain wire:

Facilitates means of grounding the cable and provides for efficient
performance and protection of network investment
Descending length Easy identification of remaining cable reduces installation time and
