Description
Built for backbone and cross‑connect systems, this modular trunk uses 26AWG stranded oxygen‑free copper and S/FTP shielding (per‑pair AL/PET + overall tinned‑copper braid ≥40%) to suppress EMI/AXT. The main jacket is PVC or LSZH, with an optional black braided over‑sleeve for abrasion resistance. End‑A features a Cat6A shielded RJ45 plug (50 μin gold, ≥750 mating cycles); End‑B uses Cat6A S/FTP keystone jacks. Each trunk is Fluke Channel tested and meets 10GBASE‑T and data‑center cabling standards.
