EXERTIS CONNECT Cat.6A S/FTP installatiekabel, 500 m trommel, grijs (612015)

Network installers and data center technicians working on 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone cabling will appreciate this EXERTIS CONNECT Cat.6A installation cable. Supplied on a convenient 500-meter drum, the grey S/FTP cable is built for permanent horizontal and building backbone runs where high bandwidth and reliable shielding are critical. The solid copper conductors and PiMF construction ensure stable performance even in electrically noisy environments.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (Class EA), supporting frequencies up to 500 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF) – individual foil-wrapped pairs plus overall braid
• Conductor: Solid bare copper, AWG 23/1
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), grey
• Length: 500 m on a cable drum
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, TIA/EIA-568-C.2
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af/at/bt (PoE, PoE+, PoE++)
• Outer diameter: approx. 7.5 mm
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +60°C
• Flame retardancy: IEC 60332-1

Why choose it

This cable delivers headroom for 10GBASE-T over 100-meter channels, meeting the demands of modern high-speed networks. The S/FTP shielding minimizes alien crosstalk, making it suitable for dense cable bundles. The LSZH jacket enhances safety in public and commercial buildings by reducing smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. The solid copper construction ensures excellent conductivity and long-term reliability, while the drum packaging allows for easy pulling and reduced tangling during installation.

Ideal use cases

• Structured cabling in office buildings and data centers
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and horizontal runs
• Installations requiring low smoke and halogen-free materials
• High-density cable trays where alien crosstalk is a concern
• Power over Ethernet applications up to 100W

Good to know

The cable is designed for permanent installation and should be terminated with Cat.6A compliant connectors and patch panels to maintain performance. The 500-meter drum is ideal for large projects, reducing the number of splices and ensuring consistent quality. Store the drum in a dry, clean environment within the specified temperature range to preserve cable integrity.
