The PowerCat 6A Shielded Cable is a key component of the PowerCat 6A end-to-end solution. Molex PowerCat 6A U/FTP Cable is specifically designed to support high speed data network applications such as 10-Gigabyte Ethernet (10GBASE-T). The cable is constructed of 4 screened pairs and a drain wire. This 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. This system is compliant with the latest ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Ed 2.2:2011 and ratified TIA 568-C.2 for the support of cat. 6A and 10GBASE-T.
