U utp cat 6a cable

This U/UTP Cat 6a cable is designed for connecting active and passive network components such as routers, switches, patch panels, and end devices. The cable is used for high-speed data connections and is suitable for home networks, professional network installations, and data centers. The cable is pre-assembled with a U/UTP construction. The internal structure consists of stranded copper conductors with a round cable construction, ensuring stable signal transmission at high bandwidths. The halogen-free LSZH cable jacket limits smoke development and is suitable for use in public and professional environments.
