10Gig UTP Copper Cable
with Vari-MaTriX Technology
specifications
Category 6A/Class E
A
cable shall be constructed of 23 AWG copper conductors
with FEP Plenum (CMP) insulation. The copper conductors shall be twisted in
pairs and separated by a cross-divider. All four pairs shall be surrounded by a metallic
Vari-MaTriX tape cut into segments of varying length and a flame retardant jacket.
The Vari-MaTriX tape shall minimize the cable diameter and suppress the effects of
alien crosstalk while retaining UTP electromagnetic interference immunity.The
innovative cable design shall provide installation flexibility as cables can be routed in
tight bundles through pathways and spaces.
