INFRALAN Cat.6A U/UTP 4P AWG23 500 MHz CPR B2ca RAL5015 blue — 305 m

INFRALAN Cat.6A U/UTP 4P AWG23 500 MHz cable on a 305 m reel is a structured-cabling solution designed for high-speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit applications. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction with four pairs of AWG23 solid or stranded conductors supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and is intended for installation in office environments, data centers and commercial networks. The cable jacket is colored RAL5015 blue and the product meets CPR fire-performance class B2ca for enhanced safety in built environments.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat.6A performance with AWG23 conductor size to provide consistent signal integrity and headroom for 10GBASE-T and other high-bandwidth protocols. Its U/UTP design simplifies grounding and reduces material cost compared with shielded alternatives while maintaining compliance with CPR B2ca for flame spread and smoke properties. Delivered on a 305 m reel, it is suitable for long runs and reduces the need for frequent reel changes during installation.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) connections in structured cabling.
• High-density office networks and horizontal cabling runs.
• Data centres and telecommunications rooms requiring CPR B2ca-rated cabling.
• General-purpose network backbone and horizontal installations where unshielded cable is acceptable.

When it may not be suitable

The unshielded U/UTP design means this cable does not provide the same level of protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) as shielded alternatives; environments with high EMI or where grounding/earthing strategies require shielded pairs may need FTP/S/FTP cables instead. Also, if project specifications demand non‑blue jacket colours or different reel lengths, this specific product (305 m, RAL5015 blue) may not match those requirements.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A performance for up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, AWG23 (solid or stranded)
• Pair configuration: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs, overall unshielded)
• Fire performance: CPR classification B2ca
• Jacket colour: RAL5015 (blue)
• Length on reel: 305 m

How to use

Plan cable routes according to structured cabling standards and local fire and building codes. Run the cable on trays, in conduits or along cable management pathways, avoiding tight bends (adhere to the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius) and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Terminate the pairs with compatible Cat.6A RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks and perform certification testing for channel performance up to 500 MHz to verify compliance with required standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that an unshielded U/UTP cable is acceptable for the installation environment regarding EMI and grounding.
• Confirm that CPR class B2ca meets local fire-safety and building-code requirements.
• Ensure the 305 m reel length and blue jacket colour (RAL5015) fit the project logistics and aesthetic requirements.
• Check connector and patch-panel compatibility for Cat.6A and AWG23 conductors.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10G performance, maintain correct pair untwisting limits during termination, avoid excessive pulling tension, and validate each installed run with a certified cable tester to ensure compliance up to 500 MHz.
