International Connectors and Cable ICPCSX05GN Cat6a U/FTP Patch Cord

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICPCSX05GN is a 5-foot, green, Cat6a U/FTP patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments. It features individual pair shielding (U/FTP) to mitigate crosstalk and external interference, making it suitable for demanding environments like data centers or industrial automation where signal integrity is critical. The low-profile, snag-free strain relief ensures easy installation in dense rack environments and protects the cable termination point from damage during connection and disconnection. This value pack contains 10 individual cords, providing a cost-effective solution for outfitting multiple network ports.

Compatibility

This Cat6a U/FTP patch cord is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors, including managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for backbone connections and high-bandwidth applications. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance.

Installation Notes

The low-profile, snag-free boot design facilitates installation in high-density switch configurations where space is limited. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 4 times the cable diameter) to maintain performance and prevent internal damage. The U/FTP construction requires careful handling to avoid damaging the individual pair shields during termination or routing.
