ROLINE 21.15.0884 Cat6a 300m Grey Network Cable

ROLINE 21.15.0884 Cat6a networking cable, supplied on a 300 m box (also available as 100 m coil), is designed for structured building cabling. The cable features S/FTP shielding with foil-wrapped pairs and overall tinned copper braid, solid AWG23 copper conductors in 8 lines, and a characteristic impedance of 100 Ω, supporting 10GBase-T performance and data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The cable is grey and intended for installation in commercial and residential networks where reduced electromagnetic interference and high data throughput are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction (foil individually shielding each pair plus an overall tinned copper braid) provides strong protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Solid AWG23 copper conductors ensure stable signal transmission over longer permanent links. The Cat6a specification supports 10GBase-T networks and high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s while maintaining a nominal impedance of 100 Ohm. The 300 m box format simplifies installation for long cable runs, while the 100 m coil option is available for smaller jobs.

Suitable for

• Structured building cabling in office and data centre environments
• 10GBase-T LAN installations and high-speed network backbones
• Permanent links requiring low crosstalk and good EMC protection

How to use

Plan cable routes according to building cabling standards and local regulations. Terminate the cable on appropriate keystone jacks or patch panels rated for Cat6a and 10GBase-T, using compatible connectors and proper termination tools to preserve shielding. Avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and proximity to power lines during installation to maintain performance. For long permanent links, use the 300 m box to reduce joins; use the 100 m coil for shorter runs or patch cabling.

Recommendations

For best performance, test each installed link with a certified cable tester for Cat6a/10GBase-T to verify continuity, pair integrity, shielding functionality and NEXT/FEXT values. Follow local fire and building codes regarding cable routing and plenum requirements if applicable.
