Signamax Inc. C6AS-328BU-7FB Cat 6a F/utp Patch Cable

Product Description

The SIGNAMAX INC. C6AS-328BU-7FB is a Category 6a F/UTP patch cable constructed with 28 AWG conductors and finished in blue for easy circuit identification. The F/UTP construction pairs a foil shield around the overall cable with unshielded twisted pairs, providing improved alien crosstalk rejection compared to standard UTP Cat 6a cables. The snagless boot design protects the RJ-45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing connector damage in dense patch environments. This cable is suited for structured cabling installations in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise LAN environments where 10GbE performance and physical cable management are both priorities.

Category 6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cable appropriate for high-bandwidth applications in both commercial and light industrial network infrastructure. The 28 AWG slim-profile construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patch panels and switch installations, improving airflow and simplifying cable routing. Network technicians and structured cabling installers typically deploy this cable for equipment-room cross-connects and horizontal patch applications.

Key Features

• Category 6a F/UTP construction with overall foil shield for alien crosstalk rejection
• 28 AWG slim-profile conductors reduce bend radius and cable bulk in high-density racks
• Snagless boot protects RJ-45 locking tab during installation and repeated moves
• Blue jacket color supports color-coded circuit identification and cable management standards
• Supports 10GbE and IEEE 802.3an applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 6a F/UTP patch cable compatible with RJ-45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network equipment ports conforming to TIA-568 Category 6a specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as either can degrade insertion loss and crosstalk performance. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. Power down sensitive equipment before working in live rack environments where accidental disconnection could cause service interruption.
