Molex PowerCat 6A Shielded Cable is a key component of the PowerCat 6A end-to-end solution.
Molex PowerCat 6A U/FTP LS0H Cable is specifically designed to support high speed data network applications such as 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T). The cable is constructed of four screened pairs, with a drain wire and enclosed in a Dca-s2,d1,a1 reaction to fire sheath, compliant with the EU Construction Product Regulation.
The cable minimizes alien crosstalk, provides excellent signal isolation, and provides superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection.
Molex recommends that the full range of PowerCat 6A Shielded products be used in a system to maximize cabling performance. The system is compliant with ISO/IEC 11801:2017 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D for the support of 10GBASE-T.

Notes:
– For new installations of PoE Type 3 / Class 5 and above that wish to be eligible for the Molex 25 year Application Assurance Warranty, we require Category 6A cable to be used throughout.
– To confirm your PoE / RP3 cabling design is eligible for the Molex 25 year Application Assurance Warranty, your design must be verified and validated with the Molex PoE Calculator. Read more https://www.molexces.com/poe-calculator
– Molex recommends that the PoE feature on an individual switch port are power disabled prior to unplugging the associated powered Device. Molex recommends that the full range of PowerCat 6A products be used in a system to maximize cabling and PoE performance Details on Molex requirements for Warranty can be found at https://www.molexces.com/about-us/our-warranty/
