Connectix TruLAN C6GFFHD-F00 Cat6A F/FTP Outdoor Network Cable, 4-Pair 23AWG PE Sheath

The Connectix TruLAN C6GFFHD-F00 is a Cat6A network cable with F/FTP construction: each twisted pair has its own foil screen and the whole cable has an overall foil screen. It has four pairs of 23 AWG conductors, and the heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) sheath is made for external and duct installations.

The product data says the screening gives better protection against electromagnetic interference and alien crosstalk, which helps in electrically noisy places or where many network cables run side by side. The PE sheath resists moisture and wear, so the cable suits runs between buildings, campus routes and CCTV network links.

For a security system this is the part to look at when an IP camera or switch link has to go outside or through a duct and you want a screened Cat6A cable. It connects switches, patch panels and structured cabling, and it supports the high bandwidth the Cat6A standard allows.

Because it is a screened cable, the screen needs to be terminated properly at both ends with screened connectors and patch panels. Check the cable type and sheath against what is already installed. Our connectors category has RJ45 parts, and wire and cable has more network cable.

Keep outdoor runs clear of power cables where you can, and use a drip loop at each entry point so water does not follow the cable inside.
