Linkbasic: Cat6a 100M Drum Solid UTP Network Ethernet Cable (UTP-6100A)

UTP-6100A CAT6A 100m Drum of Cable

CAT6a

Can support data rates of 10Gbps at 100m’s.
The cable includes a crosstalk filler to improve signal-to-noise ratio and the conductor dimension of 0.575 mm is greater than that of the standard CAT6 cable allowing for faster and more reliable data transmission.

Zoom in on the spec sheet found in the pictures for more details.

AWG Rating: 23
Cable Length: 100m
Colour: Grey
Conductor Dimensions: 0.575mm
Construction: UTP – Solid Bare Copper
Cross Filter: Yes
ESD Drain Wire: None
Number of Pairs: 4
Outer Jacket: PVC

IMPORTANT:
The conductor dimension of 0.575mm is greater than that of standard CAT6, therefore CAT6a RJ45 ends should be used to terminate the cable ends.

This CAT6a cable uses SOLID COPPER cables rather than Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) see below for explanation.

(What’s the deal with CCA vs Solid copper cable?
The first thing most people notice is the big price difference between CCA and the solid copper. One should be very careful when considering what type of cable to use for an installation.

CCA stands for Copper Cladded Aluminium. The 4 pairs of cable are actually made from aluminium and not solid copper. It has a coating of copper around it, whereas the solid copper is just that, solid copper throughout the whole conductor, making it a much better conductor than the CCA.

We always advise our customers to make use of solid copper. It offers much better data rates over longer cable runs and PoE (power over Ethernet) will also experience less voltage drop than that of CCA due to having a lower resistance. Another advantage of copper over CCA is that it is a fair amount stronger in terms of tensile strength. It can also be bent more before the conductors break.

It is thus quite clear that for large installs, where network long-lasting quality is paramount, solid copper would be the way to go. For our customers where cost is the main consideration, CCA cable certainly offers a usable alternative to solid copper.)
