Excel Cat6A Screened U/FTP Cable - Ice Blue

Excel Category 6A – Augmented Category 6 – cables, and associated connectors, take the performance capabilities of copper infrastructure to new levels. The cable has been designed to exceed the ISO/IEC, TIA and CENELEC for Category 6A/Augmented Category 6 component requirements. This delivers Class EA/ Augmented Category 6 link performance over distances of up 90 metres which supports the applications including 10GBASE-T, 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Each cable consists of 4 pairs individually wrapped in a covering of high quality, strong, aluminium/polyester foil tape providing an individual screen for each pair. These sub units are then cabled together, with the pairs set to different lay lengths to ensure optimum performance.

Excel Category 6A cables are jacketed in an Ice Blue low smoke zero halogen (LSOH) compound compliant with flame retardant standards as defined in IEC 60332-1, and smoke emission standards IEC61034. Supplied on 500 metre plywood drums, each cable has a print legend identifying the specification, part code and sequential metre marking which counts down from 500 metres to 1 metre, on each drum to reduce waste.

Performance Overview
Excel Category 6A cables are designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with the ISO and TIA standards for Cat 6A. As such they are suitable for the support of high speed enterprise LAN and data centre applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

The use of high quality foil tape screens in the design of this cable ensure that correctly installed systems are immune to performance concerns sometimes found in high speed, high frequency copper cable networks. Cables designed with pair and overall screening such as this act against Alien Crosstalk, the inducement of noise from one 4 pair cable to an adjoining (or number of adjoining cables) as well as protecting against from signal loss though emissions and enabling immunity from disturbance’s which could potentially be recieved from external sources such as other cables or electronic devices.
