  Technical Overview

  The Cat6A Copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Patch Cable is a high-performance networking interconnect engineered for global export markets, fully complying with ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA and TIA/EIA-568-C.2-1 specifications. Built with 23AWG solid oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors and precision-twisted pair design, this patch cable delivers guaranteed 10GBASE-T transmission at full 100m reach with 500MHz bandwidth—achieving superior signal integrity without shielding layers. Optimized for cost-effectiveness and flexible deployment, it balances enterprise-grade performance with the installation convenience required for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), office campuses, smart homes, and export-oriented industrial applications worldwide. Its lightweight, non-shielded structure reduces logistics costs while meeting global safety and environmental standards (RoHS, REACH, UL/ETL), making it a preferred choice for international networking projects.

  Precision RJ45 Connectors: 50-micron gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with 3-point contact geometry, rated for 10,000+ mating cycles; impact-resistant polycarbonate housing compliant with IEC 60603-7.

  PoE++ Compatibility: Supports IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) with 90W power delivery (4-pair transmission) and ≤ 3.2Ω conductor resistance, enabling powering of IP cameras, wireless APs, and IoT devices—ideal for export markets requiring integrated power-data solutions.

  2. UTP Core Technology & Signal Integrity

  Enhanced Twisted Pair Design: Four unshielded twisted pairs with HDPE insulation, each pair featuring tight, consistent twist pitch (4.5-5.0 twists/inch) and pair-to-pair twist offset to suppress NEXT, FEXT, and AXT without shielding layers.

  Crosstalk Mitigation: Advanced pair stranding and insulation material selection (low-dielectric-constant HDPE) reduce electromagnetic coupling between pairs, ensuring 10Gbps transmission in dense cable runs (≤ 150 cables/m²).

  Flexible Installation Advantage: Unshielded structure eliminates grounding requirements and reduces cable diameter (1.6mm outer diameter), enabling smaller bending radius (6x cable diameter static, 10x dynamic) and easier routing through tight conduits—lowering installation labor costs for global clients.

  3. Mechanical & Environmental Durability (Export-Oriented)

  Cable Construction:
