Belden 10GB Category 6A Cable, 4 (Cat6A F/UTP, 23 AWG, 305m Reel, Blue)

Engineered for demanding 10-Gigabit networks, this Belden 10GB Category 6A Cable brings together a perfectly balanced construction that minimises alien crosstalk while protecting signal integrity. The F/UTP design pairs foiled pairs with an unshielded outer jacket, offering excellent performance at a price point that makes Cat6A feasible for broad deployments.

Highlights

• True 10GBASE-T performance over 100 metres
• F/UTP shielding with solid bare copper conductors
• 500 MHz bandwidth for robust headroom
• FEP insulation for superior electrical properties
• CMR riser-rated PVC jacket for safe installations
• Supplied on a convenient 305 m reel-in-a-box

In daily use

Installers will appreciate the smooth UTP-style termination of the F/UTP pairs, which simplifies connectorisation compared with fully shielded cables. The 23 AWG conductors are easy to punch down into jacks and patch panels, while the blue jacket provides clear identification and a professional finish in server rooms and behind cubicles. With support for Power over Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++) it is also a solid choice for IP cameras, wireless access points, and other powered devices.
