Cat6a Double - Shielded SSTP Network Patch Cord

The Cat6a double - shielded SSTP (Screened Twisted Pair, also known as F/UTP + SF/UTP or S/FTP) network patch cord represents the next level of performance and interference protection for demanding networking environments. Unlike single - shielded FTP cables, SSTP features two layers of shielding: an inner foil shield around each individual twisted pair and an outer braided shield (typically made of tinned copper) that covers all four pairs. This double - shielding design provides maximum protection against both EMI and RFI, making it ideal for mission - critical applications where signal integrity cannot be compromised, such as financial data centers, healthcare facilities, industrial control systems, and broadcast studios.

One of the key advantages of Cat6a SSTP is its ability to support 10 Gbps data transfer speeds over distances of up to 100 meters—double the maximum distance of standard Cat6 cables at 10 Gbps. It also operates at a higher bandwidth of 500 MHz, allowing it to handle future - proof applications that require even more data throughput, such as 4K/8K video streaming, cloud computing, and real - time data analytics. The double shielding not only blocks external interference but also virtually eliminates crosstalk, ensuring that signals remain clear and consistent even in the most crowded and high - interference environments.

The construction of the Cat6a SSTP patch cord is robust, with thick, durable insulation (often made of PVC or LSZH—Low Smoke Zero Halogen—for fire safety) that protects the shielding and conductors from physical damage during installation and use. The conductors are typically 23 - AWG solid or stranded copper, offering excellent conductivity and flexibility. While the double shielding makes the cable slightly thicker and stiffer than FTP or unshielded alternatives, it is still manageable for most installation scenarios, especially when using proper cable management tools. Compliance with international standards (such as ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA - 568 - C.2) ensures compatibility with all Cat6a - rated equipment, making it a reliable choice for organizations that need long - term, high - performance networking solutions with maximum interference protection.
