Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6a cable meets industry standards for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, with a frequency rating of 650 MHz. The F/UTP shielding combines foil overall with unshielded twisted pairs, effectively reducing electromagnetic interference in high-density cabling environments.
The solid 23 AWG copper conductors ensure low attenuation and reliable connectivity, while the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation maintains dielectric properties. The cable is environmentally friendly and backed by a lifetime limited warranty, reflecting its durable construction and long-term reliability.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
