Corning Cat 6A Network Cable

Corning Cat 6A Network Cable: Superior Performance for 10 Gigabit Networks and the Future

Future-proof your network and push the boundaries of speed with Corning Cat 6A (Category 6 Augmented) cable. This cable represents a significant leap forward in copper network performance, specifically designed to fully and reliably support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) applications over distances of up to 100 meters. Leveraging Corning's leading expertise and engineering, this cable delivers superior performance, reliability, and interference protection, making it the ideal investment for data centers, enterprise networks, and demanding applications.

Unmatched 10Gbps performance:

The Corning Cat 6A cable is engineered to overcome the challenges of 10Gbps data transmission, particularly the problem of alien crosstalk (ANEXT) between adjacent cables. Thanks to its enhanced architecture, whether shielded or unshielded (UTP) with an advanced design, this cable ensures signal integrity and stable performance even in congested cable environments.

Why choose Corning Cat 6A cables?

• Ready for 10GbE and the future: It provides the bandwidth and performance needed to run today's 10GbE networks, and ensures your infrastructure is ready for the most demanding future applications.
• Corning's superior reliability: Relying on the Corning name means getting a product that has been manufactured and tested to the highest global quality standards, ensuring long-term performance and minimizing network problems.
• Advanced protection against interference: The cable design and engineering greatly reduce all types of interference (NEXT, PSNEXT, ANEXT), ensuring signal purity and reliable communication.
• Comprehensive System Guarantee: When used as part of a Corning integrated system, you can benefit from extended performance guarantees for many years.

Key features:

• Cat.6A performance guaranteed: Designed to support frequencies up to 500MHz , ensuring reliable performance for 10GBASE-T applications up to a distance of 100 meters .
• Various protection options: Available in unprotected versions (U/UTP) with an improved design to minimize ANEXT, and protected versions (F/UTP, U/FTP, F/FTP, S/FTP) to provide varying degrees of protection against external electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), making it suitable for all environments.
• 100% solid copper core (23 AWG): Ensures optimal signal conductivity, reduces heat buildup, and efficiently supports advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, PoE++) applications.
• Safety-compliant casings: Available in standard PVC casings, LSZH (low smoke and halogen-free) for environments requiring high fire safety, as well as CMP/CMR (Plenum/Riser) casings for specialized installations.
• Exceeds industry standards: Tested to exceed the requirements of ANSI/TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards for Cat 6A.
• Easy to install: Comes in packages (pull boxes or wheels) designed to facilitate pulling and installation, with clear length markings.

Ideal applications:

• Data Centers: For connections between servers, storage units, and switches.
• The basic infrastructure for enterprise networks (Backbone Cabling).
