TX6A-SD ™ 10Gig ™ U/UTP Copper

Cable with MaTriX Technology SPECIFICATION SHEET

specifications
Category 6A/Class EA, cable is constructed of 26 AWG copper conductors with FEP TX6A-SD ™ 10Gig ™ U/UTP Copper Cabling
Plenum (CMP), PVC Riser (CMR), HDPE Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), or PVC System
(CM) insulation. The copper conductors are twisted in pairs and separated by a cross-
divider. All four pairs are surrounded by MaTriX tape and a flame retardant jacket. TX6A-SD ™ 10Gig ™ U/UTP Copper Cable
The patented MaTriX tape suppresses the effect of alien crosstalk allowing 10 Gb/s
transmission. The innovative cable design provides installation flexibility as cables can Plenum: PUP6ASD04*-UG
