Semi-Finished FTP CAT6 LAN Cable
1. Ftp Cable Structure
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Solid bare copper, 23 AWG (0.57 mm), IEC 60228 Class 1 |
| Insulation | HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), color-coded as per TIA/EIA-568-B |
| Twisted Pairs | 4 pairs (8 wires), tightly twisted to reduce internal crosstalk |
| Overall Shielding | Aluminum-Polyester Foil (Al/PET) around all pairs (100% coverage) |
| Drain Wire | Tinned copper drain wire for effective grounding |
| Filler (Optional) | PE central spline (cross-web) for mechanical strength and pair separation |
| Outer Jacket | Not included – core designed for OEM extrusion |
2. Electrical & Transmission Performance
| Parameter | Typical Value (@100 MHz) |
|---|---|
| Characteristic Impedance | 100 ± 15 ohms |
| NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) | ≥ 55 dB |
| PSNEXT | ≥ 52 dB |
| Return Loss | ≥ 20 dB |
| Attenuation | ≤ 20.9 dB/100m |
| DC Conductor Resistance | ≤ 9.38 ohms/100m |
| Delay Skew | ≤ 44 ns/100m |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 535 ns/100m |
3.Key Advantages
1. Enhanced EMI Protection
The overall foil shield (F/UTP) reduces noise from nearby power lines, fluorescent lights, and industrial electronics
Ideal for use in environments with moderate electromagnetic interference
2. High Signal Integrity for Gigabit Networks
Consistent performance up to 250 MHz
Fully supports 1G Ethernet, PoE/PoE+, VoIP, and CCTV/IP surveillance
3. OEM Manufacturing Flexibility
Suitable for PVC, LSZH, or PE jacketing to meet indoor, fire-resistant, or outdoor needs
Easy integration into CPR-compliant production for European markets (Dca, Cca, B2ca)
4. Reliable Processability
Round geometry ensures stable high-speed extrusion
Consistent pair lay-length and tension improve electrical matching and jacket adhesion
4. Supply & Packaging Format
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Core OD (no jacket) | Approx. 5.8 – 6.3 mm |
| Standard Lengths | 1,000 m / 2,000 m wooden drums |
| Packaging | PE-wrapped wooden reels or palletized |
| Marking | None – for OEM post-processing printing |
| MOQ | Typically 3,000 – 5,000 meters per spec |
5.Application Scenarios
