Superior Essex offers Shielded Twisted Pair Category 6A cables with a
plenum FEP jacket. The cable has guaranteed performance to 600 MHz
and meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 for CAT 6A cables required
for 10GBASE-T applications. The cable consists of four (4) balanced 23
AWG copper pairs. Each pair is wrapped with a Mylar® backed aluminum
foil with the drain wire in the center of all 4 copper pairs. The wrapped
pairs are then jacketed with a flexible FEP jacket for plenum applications
