Signamax C6A-114BU-10FB Cat6A U/UTP Cable

Overview

The Signamax C6A-114BU-10FB is a 1000-foot bulk spool of Category 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP) cable. Designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networks up to 100 meters, this cable is essential for high-bandwidth applications in data centers, enterprise networks, and demanding surveillance systems where future-proofing and maximum data throughput are critical. Its blue jacket aids in identification within structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 standards but is engineered to meet and exceed the stringent performance requirements of Cat6A. It is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors, patch panels, and network devices (switches, routers, servers) that support 10Gbps or higher speeds over Ethernet. For optimal 10GbE performance, it should be terminated with Cat6A-rated connectors and used in conjunction with Cat6A-rated patch panels and network equipment.

Installation Notes

To maintain its performance specifications, the Signamax C6A-114BU-10FB requires careful installation. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter to prevent internal conductor damage. Do not crush or excessively pull the cable during installation, as this can degrade its electrical characteristics. Ensure proper termination using Cat6A-rated tools and connectors to achieve the specified 500 MHz bandwidth and 10Gbps data rates.
