Siemon CAT6A F/UTP Pure Copper Ethernet Cable 305M 9A6M4-A5

Siemon CAT6A F/UTP Pure Copper Ethernet Cable 305M 9A6M4-A5

The Siemon CAT6A F/UTP Pure Copper Ethernet Cable 305M 9A6M4-A5 provides high-performance copper connectivity for professional indoor networks. It uses 23 AWG solid copper conductors and an overall aluminium foil shield. Therefore, it suits offices, data centres, schools, hospitals, and smart buildings. When paired with compatible screened Category 6A components, it supports 10GBASE-T across a 100-metre, four-connector channel.

Product Overview

This Category 6A cable uses an F/UTP construction. The four twisted pairs remain individually unshielded, while aluminium foil surrounds the complete group. In addition, the shield encloses a tinned copper drain wire. This screened design helps reduce outside electrical noise and provides strong protection against alien crosstalk.

A central isolation member keeps the pairs correctly spaced during installation. As a result, the cable maintains its internal shape when technicians pull and route it through approved pathways. Reverse sequential markings also help installers measure the used cable and check the remaining length.

The 9A6M4-A5 model comes on a 305-metre reel. Moreover, it uses a grey PVC CM jacket. It is not the LS0H version of this cable. Therefore, projects that require a low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket should use the correct Siemon 9A6L4-A5 model.

Suitable Applications

Data Centre Connections

Data centres can use this cable for horizontal copper links between network areas and equipment outlets. Moreover, the foil screen helps control alien crosstalk in dense cable bundles. Installers should pair it with compatible Siemon screened Category 6A outlets and patch panels.

Enterprise and Campus Networks

The cable supports high-speed connections for computers, IP phones, printers, access points, and meeting-room equipment. In addition, the 305-metre reel supports extensive office and campus projects. However, installers should not route this indoor cable between buildings without an approved protective pathway and suitable cable rating.

Smart Building Systems

Smart buildings use Ethernet for security cameras, wireless access points, displays, lighting, and automation controls. Therefore, Category 6A provides a dependable base for converged IP services. PoE support also allows compatible devices to receive power and data through one network cable.

Installation Guidance

Installers should use compatible screened connectors and maintain the shield through the complete channel. In addition, they should follow the stated pulling, bending, grounding, and pathway requirements. Testing each completed link confirms that the installed channel meets the required Category 6A performance.

This model does not have an outdoor, direct-burial, water-blocking, or rodent-resistant rating in Siemon’s referenced specification. Therefore, installers should use a correctly rated alternative for exposed, underground, or wet environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cable support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes. It supports 10GBASE-T over a compliant 100-metre, four-connector channel with compatible screened Category 6A components.

Is the 9A6M4-A5 an LS0H cable?

No. This model uses a grey PVC CM jacket. The Siemon 9A6L4-A5 provides the LS0H option.

Does the cable support PoE++?

Yes. Siemon lists support for IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4, as well as earlier IEEE PoE standards.

Can installers use it outdoors?

No outdoor rating appears in the referenced specification. Therefore, use a suitable outdoor-rated cable for exposed installations.
