Network cable DS-IT DSIT DANICOM CAT6A S/FTP solid conductor LSZH B2ca 305m

DS-IT DANICOM CAT6A S/FTP is a 305 m solid-conductor network cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and demanding LAN environments. The cable features S/FTP shielding — individually foiled pairs with an overall braided shield — and a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) outer sheath with a B2ca reaction-to-fire rating, providing a balance of electrical performance and reduced emissions in case of fire. Its construction focuses on improved alien crosstalk suppression and consistent signal integrity for structured cabling in commercial buildings, data centers, and advanced residential installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding and solid conductors deliver stable transmission characteristics for high-speed applications and reduced susceptibility to external electromagnetic interference. The LSZH B2ca sheath minimises smoke and toxic gas emission under fire conditions while meeting stricter fire performance standards. The 305 m reel length is suitable for large runs and structured cabling projects, reducing the need for splices and joins and offering mechanical stability for horizontal and backbone cabling.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) links in enterprise networks
• High-density structured cabling in commercial and data centre environments
• Long horizontal runs and backbone installations without frequent joins
• Installations requiring reduced smoke and halogen emissions (public buildings, offices)

When it may not be suitable

This solid-conductor CAT6A cable is not intended for frequent flexing or use in movable patch-cord applications; stranded cables are better suited for patch panels and equipment connections that require bending. Also, while the cable provides enhanced shielding, it requires correct termination and grounding practices to realise its full electromagnetic protection.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (CAT6A)
• Conductor: Solid copper conductors
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on each pair)
• Length: 305 metres per reel
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Fire performance: B2ca reaction-to-fire class
• Designed for: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T)

How to use

Plan cable routes to avoid close parallel runs with high-power electrical lines and ensure proper separation from interference sources. Use appropriate termination hardware rated for CAT6A and S/FTP cables; terminate each pair following the chosen wiring standard and ensure the overall shield is grounded at a single point to preserve shielding effectiveness. Install cable supports and fixings to prevent sharp bends and maintain the specified minimum bend radius for solid-conductor cable during pulling and routing. Cut and prepare the LSZH sheath carefully to avoid damage to the inner foils and conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Planned use: horizontal runs, backbone, or patching—solid conductors suit permanent links, not flexible patch cords
• Termination and tooling: ensure compatible RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks and S/FTP termination tools are available
• Fire-safety requirements: LSZH and B2ca rating may be required by local building codes
• Installation length: 305 m reel size vs. smaller reels or pre-terminated lengths

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this DS-IT DANICOM CAT6A S/FTP solid cable for permanent horizontal and backbone links in commercial or residential structured cabling. Combine with appropriate CAT6A-rated shielded connectors and follow grounding guidelines to maintain shielding performance. Avoid using this solid cable where frequent flexing is required; choose stranded patch cords for equipment connections.
