Description
Cat6 Shielded Cables are high-quality networking cables designed to support 10 Gbps data transmission and a bandwidth of 250 MHz. Unlike unshielded cables, these cables are equipped with additional shielding around the twisted pairs to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring reliable signal integrity in environments with high interference, such as industrial settings or data centers.

Packaging
Our products are packaged in customized cartons of various sizes based on the material dimensions. Small items are securely packed in PP boxes, while larger items are placed in custom wooden crates. We ensure strict adherence to packaging customization and the use of appropriate cushioning materials to provide optimal protection during transportation.
Packaging: 300 m/Carton, Wooden box, Paper barrel, or customized.
Manufacturing Process
- Wire Drawing: Copper is drawn to the desired thickness (typically 23 AWG or 24 AWG).
- Core Stranding: Copper wires are twisted into pairs, then twisted together to form the cable core.
- Insulation: Each twisted pair is coated with insulating material (usually PE or PP).
- Shielding: The pairs are shielded with foil (FTP), braid (STP), or a combination (S/FTP) for protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Cable Assembly: Shielded pairs are grouped and twisted together, sometimes with plastic spacers for structure.
- Outer Jacket Extrusion: The cable is covered with a protective outer jacket, typically PVC or LSZH.
- Grounding (if applicable): Shielding is grounded to redirect interference effectively.
- Testing and Quality Control: Cables undergo performance, mechanical, and fire safety testing to ensure they meet Cat 6 standards.
- Cutting and Packaging: The cable is cut to specified lengths, coiled, and packaged for shipment.
