D-CONNECT Category 6A S/FTP PE External Cable is engineered specifically for high-performance outdoor applications. Tested up to 500 MHz, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 100-meter channel, ensuring robust and reliable network performance.
Each of the four twisted pairs is individually shielded with aluminum foil, and the overall cable is protected by a tinned copper braided shield. This dual-layer shielding provides superior electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), excellent noise immunity, and outstanding alien crosstalk performance.
Constructed with 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and insulated with high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the cable is jacketed in UV-stabilized, weather-resistant polyethylene (PE), making it highly durable in harsh environmental conditions.
