Built for Your Application

This line of Cat 6A Shielded Bulk Cable is built to handle the demands of high-speed networks, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and data-intensive applications such as voice, video, and data transmission. The shielding protects the cables from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring consistent signal integrity even in high-density environments. With options for riser-rated (CMR), plenum-rated (CMP), and general-purpose PVC (CM) jacketed cables, this product is perfect for installations in both commercial and residential buildings, data centers, and enterprise networks.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • 10 Gbps Performance – Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) at distances up to 100 meters, providing high-speed data transmission.

  • High Frequency – Operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as cloud computing, video conferencing, and large-scale data transfers.

  • Shielding – Available in both shielded twisted pair (STP) and foil twisted pair (FTP) configurations, offering protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk to maintain signal integrity.

  • Multiple Jacket Ratings – Choose from riser-rated (CMR), plenum-rated (CMP), and general-purpose PVC (CM) cables, providing flexibility to meet the needs of any installation environment.

  • Solid Copper Conductors – Provides superior conductivity and reliability, ensuring stable signal quality over long distances.

  • Durable and Reliable – Designed for both commercial and residential use, with durability to handle demanding networking tasks and extreme conditions.

  • Future-Proofing – The 10 Gbps capability ensures that your network is ready for future applications, supporting emerging technologies that require higher bandwidth.

Available Configurations for These Products

The Cat 6A Shielded Bulk Cable is available in a variety of configurations, ensuring that you can find the right fit for your installation needs:

  • Jacket Types:

    • Riser-rated (CMR): Ideal for vertical runs within buildings, suitable for between floors and internal building installations.

    • Plenum-rated (CMP): Designed for use in air ducts, ceilings, and other spaces that require low smoke emissions in case of fire.

    • PVC (CM): For general-purpose installations, offering an affordable and flexible solution for standard environments.

  • Conductor Types:

    • Solid Copper Conductors: Ideal for permanent installations requiring greater durability and long-term performance.

FAQ

What is the difference between STP and FTP cables?

  • STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables feature individual shielding around each pair of wires, offering protection against EMI.

  • FTP (Foil Twisted Pair) cables have a single foil shield that covers all the pairs together, providing a simpler and often more cost-effective solution for protecting against interference.

What is the maximum distance for 10GbE using Cat 6A cables?

Cat 6A cables support 10 Gbps speeds up to 100 meters (328 feet), which is ideal for most commercial and residential network installations.

What is the difference between CMR and CMP rated cables?

  • CMR (Riser-rated) cables are suitable for vertical runs between floors and should not be used in air handling spaces.

  • CMP (Plenum-rated) cables are designed for use in air ducts and ceiling spaces, where low smoke emissions are required in case of a fire.

Can I use Cat 6A cables for 1GbE networks?

Yes, Cat 6A cables are backward compatible with lower-speed networks, including 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE), providing high-performance and future-proofing for network upgrades.

Are these cables suitable for outdoor use?

The Cat 6A Shielded Bulk Cable is primarily designed for indoor use, though we do offer cables suitable for outdoor installations on our website.

How do I install Cat 6A shielded cables?

Cat 6A cables can be installed like any other Ethernet cables, but it is important to use shielded connectors and ensure proper grounding when using shielded cables to maintain their EMI protection.
