LAN network cable electro base CAT6a U/FTP for indoor installation, CPR Class Cca, MPN FTP6A-STX-Cca

electro base LAN network cable CAT6a U/FTP is a shielded copper cable designed for indoor installation, delivering performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling backbones. The cable uses U/FTP construction (overall unshielded with individually foil‑shielded pairs) to reduce alien crosstalk and maintain signal integrity across longer runs. It is manufactured to meet CPR Class Cca fire performance for safer use in building installations and supports the augmented CAT6a electrical characteristics required for high‑speed networks.

Advantages

The U/FTP configuration provides consistent pair isolation and improved immunity to external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded alternatives. The cable supports augmented CAT6a category limits, enabling reliable 10GBASE‑T operation and reduced insertion loss and near‑end crosstalk. Compliance with CPR Class Cca indicates low contribution to fire growth and limited smoke characteristics for indoor routing. Its construction is suitable for structured cabling installations in office and residential environments where enhanced performance and fire safety classification are required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in LAN backbones and horizontal cabling
• Structured cabling for offices, server rooms and residential buildings
• Environments requiring shielded cables to mitigate EMI and crosstalk
• Indoor vertical risers and concealed installation within floors and walls

Key specifications

• Category: augmented CAT6a performance for 10 Gbps networks
• Shielding: U/FTP — individually foil‑shielded pairs with overall unshielded jacket
• Rated for indoor installation with CPR Class Cca fire performance
• Conductor: solid or stranded copper conductors suitable for Ethernet cabling
• Typical impedance: 100 Ω nominal for twisted‑pair Ethernet compatibility
• Frequency range: supports performance up to 500 MHz for CAT6a applications
• Application: horizontal cabling, backbone installations, patching to support high‑speed data

How to use

Install the cable in compliance with local building and electrical codes, following CPR Class Cca routing requirements for indoor use. Use appropriate cable management and support to avoid excessive bending or pulling; maintain manufacturers' recommended minimum bend radius and maximum pull tension. Terminate the U/FTP pairs with compatible shielded RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks designed for foil‑shielded pairs, and ensure proper grounding or bonding of shields where system design requires it. Test installed links with a certified cable tester to verify category‑compliant performance up to 10 Gbps.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, separate the cable from high‑power electrical wiring and strong EMI sources, and use shielded patch cords and grounded patch panels in shielded installations. Verify installation with certified testing to confirm CAT6a parameters and document results for network validation.
