　　Cat6a SFTP Patch Cable: 500MHz High-Speed Solution for Professional Network Infrastructure

　　As the demand for high-bandwidth applications such as 4K/8K video streaming, cloud computing, and IoT continues to surge, professional network infrastructures require reliable cabling solutions that can deliver stable high-speed transmission. Our Cat6a SFTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pair) Patch Cable is engineered to meet the rigorous ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, featuring a double-shielding structure that ensures superior anti-interference performance. With 500MHz bandwidth and 10Gbps transmission capability, it is the ideal choice for data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial control systems that demand high performance and security.

　　1. Product Overview & Core Technical Parameters

　　Our Cat6a SFTP Patch Cable adopts a double-shielding design (foil shielding for each pair + overall braided shielding) to effectively suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). It supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) transmission up to 100 meters, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing network devices. Below are the detailed technical parameters:

　　Standard Compliance: ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, ISO/IEC 11801:2017 (Class EA), EN 50173-1

　　Transmission Performance: Bandwidth up to 500MHz, enabling 10Gbps data transmission at 100m; compatible with PoE/PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at) applications

　　Conductor: 24 AWG stranded oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor, purity ≥ 99.99%, DC resistance ≤ 9.5 Ω/100m

　　Cabling Structure: SFTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pair) – 4 pairs of individually foil-shielded twisted pairs + overall tinned copper braided shield (coverage ≥ 85%); integrated cross spline separator for reduced crosstalk

　　Jacket Material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) or PVC, flame retardant grade: UL94 V-0, RoHS and REACH compliant

　　Connector: RJ45 8P8C with 50μ'' gold-plated contacts, shielded housing, and snagless boot design for strain relief and anti-dust protection

　　Operating Temperature: -20℃ ~ 70℃, adaptable to indoor data centers, offices, and industrial environments

　　Cable Length: 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 10m (standard); customized lengths available (0.1m ~ 100m)

　　Shielding Performance: Attenuation to crosstalk ratio (ACR) ≥ 3dB at 500MHz; shielding effectiveness ≥ 85dB at 1GHz

　　2. Key Advantages of Cat6a SFTP Patch Cable

　　2.1 Superior Anti-Interference Capability

　　The double-shielding structure (pair-wise foil shielding + overall braided shielding) provides comprehensive protection against EMI and RFI. This design is critical for high-density cabling environments such as data center server racks and industrial workshops, where multiple cables and high-power equipment generate complex interference. The shielded connectors further enhance shielding continuity, ensuring stable signal transmission without data loss or errors.

　　2.2 High-Speed & High-Bandwidth Transmission

　　With 500MHz bandwidth – twice that of Cat6 (250MHz) – our Cat6a SFTP Patch Cable easily supports 10Gbps high-speed data transmission at 100 meters. It can handle bandwidth-intensive applications such as large file transfers, virtualization, and video conferencing with minimal latency. The optimized twisted pair design and cross spline separator minimize inter-pair crosstalk (NEXT/FEXT) and alien crosstalk (AXT), ensuring excellent signal integrity even at peak transmission speeds.

　　2.3 Durable & Reliable Construction

　　High-purity oxygen-free copper conductors ensure low signal attenuation and high conductivity, while 50μ'' gold-plated connectors enhance corrosion resistance and connection reliability. The outer LSZH/PVC jacket is wear-resistant, aging-resistant, and flame-retardant, protecting the internal structure from physical damage. The snagless boot design reduces stress on the cable-jacket interface during installation and maintenance, extending the service life to over 10 years.

　　2.4 Easy Installation & Versatile Compatibility

　　Despite its robust shielding, the cable maintains good flexibility, making it easy to route in tight spaces such as network cabinets and wall ducts. The shielded RJ45 connectors are compatible with all standard RJ45 ports, ensuring seamless integration with switches, routers, servers, and other network devices. It is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and lower-category cables, facilitating smooth network upgrades.

　　3. Typical Application Scenarios

　　Our Cat6a SFTP Patch Cable is widely applicable to professional network environments that require high speed, stability, and anti-interference capability. Typical applications include:

　　Data Centers & Server Rooms: Used for connecting servers, switches, storage area networks (SAN), and NAS devices, supporting high-density 10Gbps transmission.

　　Enterprise & Financial Networks: Suitable for large enterprises, banks, and stock exchanges, ensuring secure and stable transmission of sensitive data and real-time transaction information.

　　Industrial Automation & Smart Factories: Resistant to industrial electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable transmission of control signals and IoT data in harsh industrial environments.

　　Broadcasting & Media Centers: Applied in TV stations, live broadcasting centers, and video editing studios, meeting the high-bandwidth requirements of 4K/8K media production.

　　Government & Public Institutions: Suitable for government offices, hospitals, and schools, providing secure and stable network connectivity for critical business operations.

　　4. Quality Control & Certification

　　We implement strict quality control measures throughout the entire production process. From raw material procurement to cable assembly and final testing, every step is subject to rigorous inspection. All Cat6a SFTP Patch Cables pass 100% performance testing, including bandwidth, insertion loss, return loss, crosstalk, and shielding effectiveness. The product has obtained international certifications such as UL, CE, RoHS, and FCC, ensuring compliance with global market standards. We also offer a 25-year system warranty, demonstrating our confidence in product reliability.
