Category 6A plenum-rated network cable featuring a 23 AWG, 4-pair solid bare copper construction with an overall aluminum-mylar foil shield (F/UTP), 0.4 mm tinned copper drain wire, internal separator spline, and a low-smoke, flame-retardant (LS-FR PVC) jacket for installation in environmental air-handling plenum spaces. Tested to ANSI/TIA 568-D.2 for full 10GBASE-T transmission at 10 Gbps over 500 MHz of bandwidth across the complete 100-meter channel — delivering maximum headroom, bandwidth, and protection against alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference (EMI). The internal spline stabilizes each pair for superior electrical performance while maintaining flexibility and a clean, round cable profile. Built for elevated operating temperatures (90°C Plenum rated) and high-wattage Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) applications. Includes an internal rip cord and integrated 0.4 mm tinned copper drain wire for simplified shield grounding and termination. Supplied on a 1,000 ft wooden reel.
