Cat6 copper SFTP patch lead

Posted on Dec 16, 2025 by

  The Cat6 Copper SFTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pair) Patch Lead is a premium data transmission solution engineered for high-electromagnetic-interference (EMI/RFI) environments. Compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.2, ISO/IEC 11801 Class E, and EN 50173-1 standards, it integrates dual shielding (foil for each twisted pair + overall braided shielding) to block external interference, supporting 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) up to 55 meters and Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. Ideal for mission-critical systems where signal purity and zero downtime are non-negotiable.

  Core Technical Specifications

  Conductor Material: 24AWG Solid/Bundled Pure Copper (99.9% conductivity) – low resistance, stable transmission in harsh conditions

  Insulation: HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) – flame-retardant, low dielectric loss, enhances signal integrity

  Shielding Structure: Dual-shield design – Each pair wrapped in aluminum foil (≥95% coverage) + overall tinned copper braid (32/64 strands, ≥85% coverage) – comprehensive EMI/RFI rejection

  Jacket Material: PVC (RoHS-compliant) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) – abrasion-resistant, oil-proof/UV-resistant optional

  Connector Type: Shielded RJ45 8P8C with 50μ Gold-Plated Contacts + metal shell – 360° shielding continuity, 1000+ insertion cycles

  Transmission Performance: Bandwidth: 250 MHz; Attenuation: ≤23.7 dB (100m, 100MHz); NEXT: ≥40.6 dB (100m, 100MHz); AXT: ≥35.3 dB (100m, 100MHz); Return Loss: ≥12.0 dB (100m, 100MHz)

  Operating Temperature: -40°C to 80°C (PVC/LSZH) – extreme environmental adaptability (industrial/full outdoor use)

  Grounding System: Integrated 360° connector grounding – eliminates static buildup, ensures shielding effectiveness

  Physical Characteristics: Diameter: 6.0-7.0mm (PVC); 6.2-7.2mm (LSZH); Weight: 0.10-0.15kg/m – rugged yet flexible for complex routing

  Key Performance Advantages

  Dual Shielding for EMI/RFI Immunity

  Foil shielding per pair blocks internal crosstalk (NEXT/FEXT), while overall braided shielding rejects external interference (e.g., industrial motors, radio signals, power lines) – critical for medical equipment, industrial automation, and military communications.

  10Gbps Stable Transmission in Harsh Environments

  Maintains 250MHz bandwidth while resisting electromagnetic interference, delivering error-free data transfer in power substations, factory floors, and dense server racks where unshielded (UTP) cables fail.

  Rugged & Secure Shielded Design

  Metal-shelled RJ45 connectors ensure continuous shielding, thickened jacket (PVC: 0.8mm; LSZH: 0.9mm) resists physical damage, oil, and UV radiation; gold-plated contacts prevent corrosion and ensure low insertion loss.

  Backward Compatibility & Future-Proofing

  Fully compatible with Cat5e/Cat5 systems and unshielded devices, while supporting 10Gbps upgrades for critical networks (hospital imaging, financial data centers, subway control systems) requiring long-term reliability.

  Strict Compliance & Safety

  RoHS, CE, FCC, and UL certified; LSZH jacket meets EN 50265-2-1 (fire safety) and EN 50524 (low smoke toxicity); EMI emission compliant with EN 55032 Class B – suitable for enclosed/public spaces and industrial sites.

  Wide Application Scenarios

  Industrial Automation: PLCs, IoT sensors, SCADA systems, robotic arms (high EMI from machinery)

  Medical Facilities: MRI machines, ultrasound equipment, hospital LANs (signal purity for diagnostic data)

  Critical Infrastructure: Power grids, subway control systems, military communications (zero downtime required)

  High-Density Data Centers: Server-to-switch connections, storage area networks (SAN) (dense cabling + RFI)

  Public & Commercial Spaces: Airports, train stations, smart cities (high RFI/EMI from public devices)

  Broadcasting: TV studios, radio stations, live event streaming (audio/video signal integrity)

  Customization & Quality Assurance

  Custom Options:

  Length: 0.5m-50m (longer lengths available for industrial bulk orders)

  Shielding: Single foil (FTP) or dual shielding (SFTP) – customizable braid density (32/64/80 strands)

  Jacket: Color (blue, gray, red, custom Pantone), material (PVC/LSZH/oil-resistant PVC)

  Connectors: Shielded RJ45 (standard) or military-grade waterproof connectors (optional)

  Quality Control:

  100% FLUKE DSX-8000 testing (attenuation, crosstalk, shielding effectiveness);

  Shielding continuity test (≤0.1Ω grounding resistance);

  Strict visual inspection for connector assembly and cable integrity;

  3-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
