Cat 6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable Description
Cat 6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) supports data transmission speeds up to 1000Mbps and bandwidth up to 350MHz, making it ideal for high-performance applications involving digital, voice, video, and data signals, especially in E-level links and Category 6 environments. It features enhanced shielding with a unique longitudinal adhesive wrapping process, delivering superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection compared to similar products. The cable structure is reinforced by tight insulation-to-conductor bonding (>45N/50mm), 100% back-twisting, and high-quality polyester tape wrapping. Grounding is ensured with 0.5mm tinned copper wire, and multiple jacket color options offer easy identification. Gradient printing on the sheath allows installers to visually track remaining cable length during deployment.
Cat 6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable Applications
- High-speed data transmission networks (up to 1000 Mbps)
- Environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI)
- Enterprise and commercial structured cabling systems
- Data centers and server rooms
- Voice, video, and multimedia signal transmission
- Backbone cabling for critical systems
- Industrial automation and smart building networks
Cat 6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable 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
- Conductor Drawing - Copper wires are drawn to the required diameter.
- Annealing - The wires are heat-treated to improve flexibility and conductivity.
- Insulation - Each conductor is coated with insulation material (e.g., HDPE).
- Twisting - Insulated wires are twisted into pairs to reduce crosstalk.
- Shielding - A shielding layer (e.g., foil or braid) is applied around twisted pairs or the full cable.
- Cable Formation - Shielded pairs are bundled into a cable core.
- Jacketing - An outer jacket (e.g., PVC or LSZH) is extruded around the cable.
- Printing & Meter Marking - Cable length and specifications are printed on the jacket.
- Testing - Electrical and mechanical performance is tested.
- Packaging - Cables are coiled or reeled and packed for shipment.
