Description
DRAKA CATEGORY 6A - SOLID CONDUCTOR MULTIPAIR DATA CABLES Low Fire Hazard
The computer industry 100 ohm Category 6A standard provides performance up to 500MHz, and is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high speed applications. Category 6A defines more stringent specifications than those applicable to Category 6 at higher frequencies.
The basic U/UTP design has a similar construction to Category 6, but an enhanced performance is obtained by use of a dual-layer jacket and inter-layer binder.
The U/FTP and F/FTP types have a Draka patented foil screen over pairs 1 and 2 (blue, orange) and another over pairs 3 and 4 (green and brown). The F/FTP type is like U/FTP but includes an overall foil screen.
Note that the different constructions give different overall diameters, these cables are installation types and are not suitable for use with RJ45 type connectors. Cables are only available with Low Fire Hazard (‘LSOH’) jackets.
