Nippon Labs 60CAT6A-100RD network ethernet cable Cat6A 100 ft Red

100 ft Cat6A UTP patch cable

This Nippon Labs 60CAT6A-100RD is a 100 ft unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable built for 10 Gigabit links. It uses 4-pair 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and RJ45 plugs with 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The CM-rated PVC jacket meets TIA/EIA requirements verified by UL and ETL and follows the T568B wiring standard. It is suited for installers who need a long, flexible run for high-speed copper networks.

500 MHz minimum frequency

The cable is rated for a minimum operating frequency of 500 MHz, which is the specification that determines whether it will reliably carry 10,000Base-T traffic over the full 100 ft length. At 550 MHz rated bandwidth it suppresses crosstalk and supports Power over Ethernet with better heat dissipation than lower-category cables. If the installation demands shielded construction or a higher certified frequency, this UTP design will not meet that requirement.

Installers needing long 10 GbE runs

This cable suits technicians deploying 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper at distances up to 100 ft where an unshielded, CM-rated jacket is acceptable. It is not for buyers who require shielded twisted-pair construction, outdoor or plenum-rated jackets, or pre-terminated lengths other than 100 ft.
