Superior Essex offers Shielded Twisted Pair Category 6A cables in both plenum and riser versions. The cable has guaranteed performance to 600 MHz and meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 for CAT 6A cables required for 10GBASE-T applications. The cable consists of four (4) balanced 23 AWG copper pairs. Each pair is wrapped with a Mylar® backed aluminum foil with the drain wire in the center of all 4 copper pairs. The wrapped pairs are then jacketed with an appropriate flexible PVC jacket for either plenum or riser applications.
