Shielded Copper Cabling System is designed for optimum network performance, design exibility and reliability to protect
network investments well into the future. This system provides users with headroom assurance that will exceed ANSI/TIA-568-C.2
Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class E

standards for the following key electrical parameters: Insertion Loss (IL), Near-End
Crosstalk (NEXT), Power Sum NEXT, Power Sum ACR-F, Return Loss, Power Sum ACR-N, Power Sum Alien NEXT, and Power Sum
AACR-F. Panduit offers several shielded cable constructions including U/FTP and S/FTP cables with swept frequencies up to 1500MHz.
To determine the guaranteed headroom performance, long and short channels of four connector topologies were constructed, tested
and analyzed. To ensure true worst case conditions, channels were tested under the following conditions:
• Six-around-one conguration – bundled horizontal cables and patch cords are tied every 6-8 inches and laid so the disturbed
cable is always in the center of the bundle down the full length of the channel
• Four connector topologies – the TX6A

Shielded Copper Cabling System was tested under worse case,
100 meter and 24 meter testing congurations per ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, Annex J
• Tested at frequencies from 1 MHz to 500 MHz Category 6A standards, under “real world” conditions through the use of industry
recognized hand-held testers, not test analyzers or computer models
