Fast becoming the cable of choice for many structured cabling networks, Cat 6 Solid UTP LSOH features four unshielded twisted pairs and no outer shielding. Designed for use in next-generation data communications networks (specifically Class Ea), it enables extremely high data rate transmission of up 10Gbps at a frequency of 500Mhz.
CAT6A cable is a 23AWG solid conductor copper cable in a low smoke, zero halogen sheath. It fully supports 10BASE-T up to 100 metres in channel length, ensuring that it can support the fastest Ethernet applications. Also suitable for 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet).
It offers performance characteristics that exceed Cat 6 specifications and is recommended to be used in conjunction with our Cat 6 Modules and Patch Panels.
Available in 305m and 100m reel boxes, which are marked by meter for easy installation.
