Datasheet
DAD LINK S/FTP Cat.6A Network Cable – 305 m of 23 AWG solid bare copper, foil-screened and overall braided, certified to 500 MHz for 10GBASE-T over the full 100 m channel.
Cat.6A doubles Cat.6 bandwidth to carry 10 Gbps at 100 m where Cat.6 manages it only to ~55 m. The Al/Mylar screen plus aluminium-magnesium alloy braid suppress alien crosstalk between bundled runs, which is the failure mode that defeats 10G in dense trays and risers. Specified for data-centre horizontal cabling, 10G building backbones, PoE++ (Type 4, 90 W) runs, and Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points.
