CAT 6A U/FTP LSOH Ethernet Cable | Halogen-Free Shielded Data & Network Cable
ETK Kablo’s CAT 6A U/FTP LSOH Ethernet Cable is a high-performance data/LAN cable engineered for structured cabling systems that demand 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) speeds and enhanced electromagnetic protection. Operating up to 500 MHz, this network cable delivers stable, interference-free connectivity in data centers, backbone networks, and enterprise environments.
Foil Shielding for Maximum EMI Protection
The U/FTP (Unshielded Foiled Twisted Pair) design features individually foil-wrapped pairs that prevent alien crosstalk and EMI in dense cabling installations. This shielding ensures signal integrity in high-frequency and high-density network environments such as server rooms, telecom racks, and automation systems.
Halogen-Free Safety with LSOH Construction
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH) outer sheath provides flame retardancy and minimizes smoke and toxic gas emissions during fire. This makes it a compliant and safe choice for public buildings, hospitals, schools, airports, and offices that require certified fire-safe data cables.
Performance & Installation Benefits
Built with solid copper conductors for low attenuation, this Ethernet cable supports fixed indoor installations including horizontal cabling, patch panels, and structured distribution frames. Flexible and easy to route, it is ideal for large-scale LAN systems and network upgrades requiring high bandwidth and reliability.
Comparison: CAT 6A Ethernet Cable Types
ETK Kablo offers a complete range of CAT 6A data cables to meet specific performance, shielding, and installation needs. The table below compares four major variants:
| Cable Type | Shielding Structure | EMI Protection Level | Typical Use | Outer Sheath |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAT 6A U/UTP | Unshielded twisted pairs (no foil or braid) | Basic | Standard LAN and office networks with low EMI exposure | LSZH, PVC, PE |
| CAT 6A U/FTP | Each pair individually foil-shielded | Enhanced | Data centers, backbone cabling, and high-speed office networks | LSZH, PVC, PE |
| CAT 6A F/FTP | Overall foil plus individually foil-shielded pairs | High | Industrial and commercial buildings with moderate EMI | LSZH, PVC, PE |
| CAT 6A S/FTP | Braided overall shield plus individually foil-shielded pairs | Very High | Data centers and industrial zones with strong EMI sources | LSZH, PVC, PE |
Standards & Compliance
The CAT 6A U/FTP LSOH data cable meets ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 6A performance, guaranteeing compatibility with modern Ethernet cabling infrastructure and ensuring long-term network stability.
