CAT6A S/FTP Cable – Stranded – LSOH – Yellow – Per Metre

Cat 6A S/FTP LSOH 26 AWG Stranded Cable – Yellow – Per Metre

The Cat 6A S/FTP LSOH 26 AWG Stranded Cable – Yellow is a high-performance network cable designed for Ethernet connectivity within structured cabling systems, data centres, telecommunications infrastructure and commercial network installations. Featuring individually screened twisted pairs and an overall braided screen, the cable is designed to minimise electromagnetic interference and support reliable data transmission.

Constructed with 26 AWG stranded conductors, this Cat 6A cable offers flexibility for network connections, patch lead assemblies and equipment interconnections. Its stranded construction makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring regular handling or movement, where flexibility is preferred over solid conductor installation cable.

The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction combines individual foil screening around each twisted pair with an overall braided screen. This provides protection against external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps reduce crosstalk between cable pairs, supporting consistent network performance in electrically demanding environments. Featuring an LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath, the cable is designed to reduce smoke emissions and avoid halogen acid gas release during combustion compared with conventional PVC-sheathed cables. The yellow outer sheath also provides easy visual identification within network cabinets, patching environments and cable management systems.

Designed for Category 6A networking applications, the cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity when used within a suitably designed and compliant cabling channel. Supplied per metre, it allows installers and network engineers to purchase the required length for custom cable assemblies and specific installation requirements.
