Superior Essex Cable 23 AWG Category 6A U/FTP STP CMR CMP Cable

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.
