CAT.6 S-FTP LAN CABLE Outdoor 23AWG PVC

The CAT.6 S-FTP LAN Cable (Outdoor, 23AWG, PVC) is engineered to deliver superior performance in harsh conditions while supporting high-speed data transmission. This article provides a comprehensive look at the key features and advantages of this high-performance networking cable.

1. Cable Category: CAT.6

Category 6 (Cat.6) is designed to support Ethernet connections at speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (1Gbps) over 100 meters, and up to 10Gbps over shorter distances (up to 55 meters). It operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications including video streaming, cloud computing, and voice-over-IP (VoIP).

2. Shielding Type: S-FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair)

The S-FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) construction includes:

• Overall braid shielding (S) for enhanced EMI (electromagnetic interference) protection.

• Foil shielding (FTP) around each individual twisted pair to further reduce internal crosstalk (NEXT) and external interference.

This double-layer shielding makes the cable highly suitable for noisy environments, such as industrial areas, outdoor networks, or areas with heavy electrical equipment.

3. Outdoor Use and PVC Jacket

The cable features a durable PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) outer jacket, which provides resistance to:

• UV radiation

• Moisture

• Temperature variation

• Physical wear and tear

This makes it well-suited for direct outdoor installation, whether buried in conduit or laid along building exteriors, while still offering flexibility and ease of handling during installation.

4. Conductor: 23 AWG Solid Copper

Constructed with 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, this cable ensures:

• Excellent conductivity

• Lower attenuation

• Compatibility with Power over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+) applications

Thicker 23 AWG conductors also contribute to the cable’s durability and performance over longer distances.

5. Applications

This outdoor-rated Cat.6 S-FTP cable is ideal for:

• Outdoor Ethernet networks

• IP surveillance systems

• Industrial automation

• Wireless access points (WAPs)

• Building-to-building networking

• Long-distance data transmission in external environments

6. Key Features Summary

• Category: CAT.6 (250 MHz, up to 1Gbps)

• Shielding: S-FTP (Foil + Braid)

• Conductor Size: 23 AWG Solid Copper

• Jacket Material: PVC (Outdoor rated)

• UV and moisture resistant
