Norden Category 6A S/FTP 4-Pair Double Jacket External Cable Specifications

Product Overview

Norden Category 6A S/FTP 4-Pair Double Jacket Cable exceeds Category 6A / Class EA specifications and is intended for external applications. It is tested up to a 500 MHz frequency range and designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) applications up to 100M. The cable provides exceptionally high pair balance, ensuring superior EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) by minimizing radiation, maximizing noise immunity, and providing excellent alien crosstalk performance compared to F/FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) cabling systems. S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) cables, which feature an overall braid shield and individual foil shields on each pair, are preferred for installations requiring enhanced alien crosstalk protection and improved data integrity in high-speed network environments.
