CAT 6A U/UTP LSOH Data Cable for High-Speed Structured Networking
ETK Kablo’s CAT 6A U/UTP LSOH Ethernet Cable is a high-speed, halogen-free data cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) applications in data centers, commercial buildings, and enterprise networks. It supports up to 500 MHz bandwidth, ensuring consistent transmission performance and minimal signal attenuation in structured network environments.
High-Speed Performance and Construction
Manufactured with AWG23 solid copper conductors and unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP), the cable offers superior NEXT and return loss performance over extended distances. It delivers stable and interference-free connectivity for VoIP, video conferencing, cloud applications, and data streaming. The CAT 6A design allows seamless operation of 10G Ethernet networks while maintaining backward compatibility with CAT 6 and CAT 5e systems.
Fire Safety and Compliance
The LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath reduces smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire, ensuring safety in offices, hospitals, schools, airports, and public buildings. This cable meets international standards such as ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, and IEC 60332-1, and can be supplied with CPR-rated (Cca or Dca) classification upon request.
Applications and Installation
Designed for horizontal cabling and patch panel connections, CAT 6A U/UTP LSOH is suitable for fixed installations in structured cabling systems. It performs optimally in IT rooms, backbone routes, server racks, and network distribution panels, supporting next-generation data transmission up to 10 Gbps with long-term stability and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions about CAT 6A U/UTP LSOH Data Cable
What does CAT6 U/UTP mean?
CAT6 U/UTP stands for Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair cable. The “U/UTP” designation indicates that the cable has no overall or individual shielding around the twisted pairs. It is designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 250 MHz and provides excellent data transmission performance in low-interference environments such as offices and residential networks.
What is CAT6A U/FTP?
CAT6A U/FTP (Unshielded Foiled Twisted Pair) is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable where each pair of conductors is individually foil-shielded to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Compared to U/UTP, U/FTP offers improved noise immunity, making it suitable for high-density or electrically noisy installations.
What is a U/UTP cable?
A U/UTP cable (Unshielded / Unshielded Twisted Pair) is a type of Ethernet cable that contains unshielded twisted pairs without any foil or braid. It is lightweight, flexible, and easy to install. ETK Kablo’s CAT 6A U/UTP LSOH version combines this simplicity with LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) safety for use in data centers, offices, and public buildings.
Is F/UTP better than U/UTP?
F/UTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) cables provide better protection against electromagnetic interference than U/UTP because they include an overall aluminum foil shield. However, U/UTP cables like ETK Kablo’s CAT 6A U/UTP LSOH are often preferred for indoor environments due to their ease of installation, flexibility, and lower cost when EMI levels are moderate.
Which is better, STP or UTP?
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables offer stronger noise immunity and are better suited for environments with high electromagnetic interference such as industrial areas or near heavy machinery. UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables, like CAT 6A U/UTP LSOH, are typically used in structured indoor networks where EMI is minimal, providing easier handling and lower installation costs.
