Category 6A Cable
Features And Benefits
■
10 MTP
™
unshielded-twisted pair (UTP)
design performs like a shielded or foiled-
twisted pair (STP/FTP) cable, providing
industry-leading protection from external
cable noise sources, also known as alien
crosstalk (PSANEXT and PSAACRF)
■
Mosaic Crossblock
™
is a thin tape made
up of individual metallic blocks separated
by an insulating layer. Since there is no
metal-to-metal contact, there is no path
for current to flow longitudinally, and
thus, no need for grounding
■
The Internal Separator optimizes internal
pair geometry to yield superior electrical
performance and maintain flexibility. This
unique cross-web stabilizes each pair to
create a smaller,
round
cable profile
