Network Cable for 10G Applications

Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6a S-FTP bulk cable is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet installations that demand verified 650 MHz bandwidth. The double-shielded construction with individually foil-wrapped pairs and an overall tinned copper braid protects signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. It suits installers running voice, data, audio/video or PoE links in commercial or residential structured cabling projects.

Sustained Signal Integrity

Foam insulation and stranded conductors maintain consistent impedance over long pulls, reducing attenuation during continuous high-throughput traffic. ETL verification to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA confirms the cable meets the electrical margins required for reliable 10G operation beyond short burst tests. Reel-on-spool packaging and sequential length markings simplify accurate measurement during extended horizontal or patch-cord runs.

In-Wall Safety and Heat

CM-rated jacket passes UL flame tests for general-purpose in-wall routing outside riser or plenum spaces, limiting fire spread without emitting excessive smoke. The shielding stack adds minimal thermal resistance, so bundled cables in cable trays or conduit dissipate heat normally without requiring special cooling considerations. Power-over-Ethernet currents up to the standard limits are carried without abnormal temperature rise in the stranded conductors.
