  2. SFTP Shielding Technology & Signal Integrity

  Dual-Layer Shielding Architecture:

  Primary Shield: 0.04mm aluminum polyester foil (per twisted pair) with 100% coverage and tinned copper drain wire, blocking intra-pair crosstalk and near-field EMI.

  Secondary Shield: 95% coverage tinned copper braid (36 x 0.15mm strands), providing >60dB EMI attenuation (100MHz-1GHz) to reject external RFI from industrial machinery, power cables, and wireless systems.

  Integrated Grounding System: Shielded connector housing with built-in grounding tab ensures continuous shield-to-port grounding (≤ 0.08Ω ground resistance), eliminating ground loops and signal interference in high-density deployments.

  Crosstalk Elimination: Advanced pair stranding and low-dielectric-constant HDPE insulation reduce electromagnetic coupling, enabling stable 10Gbps transmission in dense cable trays (≤ 250 cables/m²)—a key advantage for data center exports.
