Digitus Cat.6A U/UTP Installation Cable, 500 m, Simplex, Cca

The Digitus Cat.6A U/UTP installation cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission at speeds reaching 10,000 Mbit/s. This 500-meter simplex cable features an unshielded twisted pair design, providing a robust foundation for modern high-speed network infrastructures. Designed to meet rigorous industry standards, it ensures consistent performance and signal integrity for demanding professional environments.

Advantages

This installation cable offers exceptional reliability by supporting transmission frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it perfectly suited for 10GBit Ethernet applications. The construction utilizes 4x2x AWG23/1 conductors, which provide superior electrical characteristics. Furthermore, the cable is designed with safety in mind, featuring a halogen-free jacket that complies with CPR Euro class Cca fire safety standards, ensuring reduced smoke emission and flame retardancy in the event of a fire. It also supports Power over Ethernet, allowing for the efficient delivery of power and data through a single cable.

Suitable for

• Professional structured cabling systems in commercial buildings
• High-speed residential network infrastructures
• Secondary and tertiary area network installations
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications

When it may not be suitable

This cable is unshielded (U/UTP) and may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are required to prevent signal degradation. Additionally, as this is a bulk installation cable, it does not come with pre-terminated connectors and requires professional installation tools and expertise.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 500 meters
• Transmission frequency: Up to 500 MHz
• Data transfer rate: 10 GBit/s
• Conductor construction: 4x2x AWG23/1
• Fire safety rating: CPR class Cca
• Jacket material: Halogen-free (LSZH)

How to use

The cable is intended for permanent installation within walls, conduits, or cable trays as part of a structured cabling system. Installation should be performed by qualified technicians who can properly strip the outer jacket, terminate the conductors into patch panels or wall outlets, and ensure that the bend radius is maintained according to industry standards to prevent damage to the internal twisted pairs.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the cable length of 500 meters is sufficient for your specific installation project.
• Verify that your networking equipment supports Cat.6A standards to achieve maximum performance.
• Confirm that your local building codes permit the use of Cca-rated cables for your specific application.
• Ensure you have the necessary tools for stripping and terminating AWG23 conductors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid sharp bends during installation and maintain proper separation from high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. Always test the completed link with a certified cable analyzer to verify compliance with Cat.6A performance standards.
