Excel Cat6a Shielded Twisted Pair (F/FTP) Cable

Excel Category 6a – Augmented Category 6 – cables, and associated connectors, take the performance capabilities of copper infrastructure to new levels. Designed to the current ISO and EIA/TIA standards for Class Ea augmented Category 6a performance these products are intended to deliver reliable, high network performance over link distances of upto 90 metres, including support of emerging applications such as 10GBase-T, 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Each cable consists of two 2 pair sub units which are wrapped in a figure of 8 style covering of high quality, strong, aluminium/polyester foil tape providing an individual screen for each pair but also a quick and easy to install overall design. These sub units are then cabled together, with the pairs set to different lay lengths to ensure optimum performance, an overall 360 degree foil tape screen plus drain wire is applied to provide further immunity to outside noise and to mitigate any risk of alien cross talk.

Excel Category 6a cables are jacketed in an Ice Blue low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) 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.
