Category 6A cable shall be constructed of 23 AWG copper conductors with
PE CM, CMR or LSZH insulation. The copper conductors shall be twisted in
pairs and separated by an integrated pair separator. All four pairs shall be
surrounded by an overall metallic foil shield within a low smoke zero halogen
jacket. The TX6A

Shielded Copper Cabling System include
high bandwidth applications within data centers and
connections to high-end workstations such as:
• 10GBASE-T Ethernet
• Data Center applications
• Virtual business management applications
key features and benefits
Integrated pair divider: Separates pairs for exceptional cable performance
Overall foil shield: Provides superior structural integrity and reduces low
frequency external interference to ensure exceptional cable
performance at all swept frequencies up to 500 MHz
Internal drain wire: Facilitates means of grounding the cable and provides for efficient
performance and protection of network investment
Descending length Easy identification of remaining cable reduces installation time and
cable markings: cable scrap
Bulk packaging: Supplied 305m (1000 ft.) to a reel
