Infinique’s Category 6A (Augmented Category 6) S/FTP cable, ETL verified, has been designed for high network performance of up to 550 MHz. It can be used to design 100 meter channel links as well as shorter channel links with cable and patch cord lengths as short as required, offering maximum flexibility and minimizing excess cable and patch cord lengths, which results in overall cost savings.
The Infinique Category 6A S/FTP cabling solution provides a significant margin above all electrical transmission performance requirements specified in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, ISO/IEC 11801, and IEC-61156-5. It supports full-duplex protocols, delivering up to 10 Gbps performance at frequencies up to 550 MHz. This solution improves bandwidth, data throughput, and network efficiency, while also supporting the PoE (Power over Ethernet) standard (IEEE 802.3af), enabling both data and power connections for PoE devices. The cable jacket features tighter twists, and its 4-pair construction—where each individual pair is surrounded by aluminum foil tape and a braided screen—reduces alien crosstalk (AXT) between adjacent cables. This provides the extra performance margin required for high-bandwidth applications. The Category 6A S/FTP cable, along with other Infinique Category 6A U/FTP solutions, is ideal for voice, data, and video transmission needs. The cable is available in 1640 ft (500 m) reels to accommodate various installation requirements.
