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.
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-E for the support of 10GBASE-T.
