CAT.6A SFTP Bulk Cable 23AWG 4 Pairs PVC Jacket

• Double-Shielded Protection (SFTP): Combines an aluminum foil wrap for each pair with a global tinned copper braid for maximum signal isolation.

• 10Gbps Performance: Optimized for high-bandwidth applications with frequencies tested up to 500MHz.

• Solid Bare Copper (23AWG): Provides superior electrical performance and lower resistance compared to stranded or CCA cables.

• High-Power PoE Support: Heavy-gauge 23AWG conductors are ideal for powering high-wattage devices like PTZ cameras and Wi-Fi 6E access points.

• Precision 305M Reel: Supplied on a heavy-duty spool with sequential footage markings to simplify inventory management and reduce waste.

• Enterprise Data Centers: High-speed backbone cabling for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 10G links.

• Industrial Facilities: Reliable networking in areas with high interference from heavy machinery or power lines.

• Healthcare & Laboratories: Secure, interference-free data transmission for sensitive medical imaging and diagnostic equipment.

• Installation Strategy: When deploying SFTP cable, it is vital to maintain the shield continuity from end-to-end. We recommend using specialized Cat.6A shielded keystone jacks and ensuring the cable is not kinked beyond its 4x outer diameter (OD) bend radius.

• Maintenance: This cable is built for a 20+ year lifecycle. During routine facility audits, ensure that grounded patch panels are properly bonded to the building’s main earthing terminal to maintain the effectiveness of the SFTP shielding.

• Enhanced Fire Ratings: We offer jacket upgrades to LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), Plenum (CMP), or Riser (CMR) to meet specific local building codes.

• Private Label Branding: Custom surface printing on the jacket is available, including your company name, logo, and unique part numbers.

• Bespoke Color Options: Beyond standard grey or blue, we can manufacture jackets in any Pantone color to match your corporate branding or network tiering.

• Variable Length Spools: We provide custom reel sizes including 100M, 500M, and 1000M options for large-scale infrastructure projects.

• Composite Cable Design: Our R&D team can develop “hybrid” cables that combine Cat.6A with fiber optics or power wires for specialized ODM projects.

The Advantage of Factory-Direct Supply By sourcing directly from our facility, you eliminate the middleman and gain access to a unified quality control process. Every reel undergoes stringent Fluke testing and physical inspection to ensure that your 10G network backbone is rock-solid from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Q: Do I need special tools to terminate this SFTP cable? A: You will need a standard cable stripper and a field termination plug or shielded keystone jack. No specialized “SFTP tool” is required beyond standard shielded termination practices.

2. Q: Can I use this cable for outdoor runs? A: This specific PVC jacket is rated for indoor use. For outdoor or direct-burial applications, we recommend our PE-jacketed waterproof variant.

3. Q: Why choose SFTP over standard UTP for Cat.6A? A: At 10Gbps speeds, “Alien Crosstalk” from adjacent cables can drop your speeds. SFTP virtually eliminates this, making it essential for high-density bundles.

4. Q: Is this cable compatible with Cat.6 or Cat.5e hardware? A: It is backwards compatible, but the network will only perform at the level of the lowest-rated component in the link.

5. Q: Does the 23AWG gauge make the cable harder to install? A: It is slightly thicker and stiffer than Cat.5e, but this provides the necessary surface area for 10G speeds and better heat dissipation for high-power PoE.
