Features and Applications
The SST Cat 6A cable stands out with premier performance margins, offering a best-in-class 10 dB Alien Crosstalk (AXT) margin and 4 dB ACRF margin1212. It is fully capable of supporting network operations in adverse real-world conditions13.+2
Power over Ethernet (PoE): Features a Limited Power (LP) 0.5A rating, allowing for worry-free support of 100 W PoE even in large bundles of up to 480 cables1414.
High-Speed Support: Ideal for Wi-Fi 5, 6, and 7 access points and supports 1 GbE with PoE Type 1 up to 155 meters when used with the ATLAS-X1 SST system151515.
Signal Isolation: The proprietary isolation wrap optimises the cable for noise cancellation, eliminating the need for grounding usually associated with shielded cables while maintaining high performance.
Uses:
This cable is specifically classified for indoor riser applications. It is the optimal choice for installations requiring high data throughput and substantial power delivery, such as:
-
Next-generation Wi-Fi access points.
-
Data-intensive medical and financial networks.
-
Digital signage and high-definition video streaming.
-
Smart building integrations using Cisco UPOE and UPOE+ (90 watts max) or Power over HDBaseT (95 watts max)
Construction
The cable is constructed with four pairs of 23 AWG bare copper wires arranged to minimise crosstalk. The core is wrapped in a specialised isolation barrier that manages heat buildup caused by high-power PoE applications2323. The outer jacket is CMR-rated, making it suitable for vertical runs in non-plenum spaces2424. The packaging is environmentally conscious, utilizing 100% recyclable materials.
