Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A U/FTP twisted pair patch cord raw 305 m Grey

The Digitus CAT 6A U/FTP twisted pair patch cord raw 305 m in grey is a bulk network cable intended for producing custom patch cords and for installation in structured cabling systems. The cable supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBase-T), is PoE+ ready and is manufactured from copper conductors with U/FTP shielding to reduce interference. It is produced and tested according to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C, ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Ed., EN 50173-1 and EN 50288-10-1 requirements.

Advantages

This CAT 6A U/FTP bulk cable provides extended frequency performance up to 500 MHz suitable for class EA installations. The U/FTP shielding enhances protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in demanding environments. The cable features copper conductors and is compatible with PoE+ power delivery, while compliance with international standards ensures predictable channel performance when assembled into patch cords.

Suitable for

• Manufacture of custom RJ45 patch cords
• Structured cabling installations of class EA (up to 500 MHz)
• 10GBase-T network backbone and horizontal cabling
• Environments requiring reduced interference (U/FTP shielding)

How to use

Cut the required length from the 305 m bulk cable and strip the outer sheath according to the connector manufacturer's instructions. Arrange the individually shielded pairs in the correct pinout (e.g., T568A or T568B), apply appropriate grounding for the U/FTP foil shields if required, and terminate with compatible RJ45 connectors designed for U/FTP cables. Test each assembled patch cord and the installed channel to verify compliance with ISO/EN channel specifications and to ensure signal integrity.

Recommendations

When assembling and installing, maintain proper bend radius and avoid excessive pulling force. Ensure foil shields are correctly terminated and grounded where necessary. Use certified RJ45 plugs and a cable tester to confirm performance meets CAT 6A / class EA requirements.
