specifications
Category 6A/Class EA cable shall be constructed of 23 AWG copper conductors with HDPE Low
Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), FEP (CMP) PE Riser (CMR) or PVC (CM). The copper conductors TX6A™ 10Gig UTP Copper
shall be twisted in pairs and separated by a cross-divider. All four pairs shall be surrounded by a Cabling System with Vari-MaTriX
metallic Vari-MaTriX tape and a flame retardant jacket. The Vari-MaTriX tape shall minimize the Technology
cable diameter and suppress the effects of alien crosstalk while retaining UTP electromagnetic
interference immunity. The innovative cable design shall provide installation flexibility as TX6A™ 10Gig UTP Copper Cable
cables can be routed in tight bundles through pathways and spaces.
