NetKey® Unshielded Category 6A Latin America,
Europe and
Copper Cable Asia Pacific SPECIFICATION SHEE T
SPECIFICATIONS NetKey Category 6A
U/UTP Copper Cable
Category 6A/Class E A cable shall be constructed of 23 AWG
copper conductors with HDPE insulation. The copper LSZH: NUL6X04**-FEG
conductors shall be twisted in pairs and separated by a cross **Colors: BU (Blue, WH (White), RD
divider with an overall AXT barrier tape. The AXT barrier tape (Red), OR (Orange), YL (Yellow),
shall not be grounded. All four pairs are surrounded by a PVC GR (Green), VL (Violet), IG (International
flame-retardant jacket. Gray), or BL (Black).
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Category 6A/Class E A Certified channel performance in a 4-connector configuration up to 100
channel performance: meters and exceeds the requirements of ISO 11801 Class E A standards
swept up to 500 MHz for supporting 10GBASE-T transmission over
twisted-pair cabling systems as part of the NetKey U/UTP Copper
Cabling System.
Cable diameter: 6.8mm (0.271 in.) nominal
Insulation diameter: 1.05-1.13mm (0.041-0.044 in.)
Conductors/insulators: 23 AWG solid copper insulated with HDPE
Flame rating: IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3-22, IEC 60754, IEC 61034
EN 50399: EuroClass Dca-s2,d2,a1
PoE compliant: Meets IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at and IEEE 802.3bt for PoE applications
Installation tension: 110N (25 lbf) maximum
Temperature rating: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) during installation
-20°C to 75°C (-4°F to 167°F) during operation
Cable jacket: HDPE (LSZH)
Cable weight: 14 kg/500m (31 lbs./1640 ft.)
Packaging: 305m (1000 ft.) on a reel
Packaged tested to ISTA procedure 1A
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Robust cable design: Small cable diameter delivers superior PSANEXT and
PSAACRF suppression
Round cable design: Improves fill capacity, cable management, reduces required bend radius
and allows efficient use of pathways and spaces
Highest density: All testing based on 48-port/1RU panels
Descending length: Easy identification of remaining cable to reduce installation time and
cable scrap
