Superior Essex Introduces the Reduced Diameter 10Gain® XP Category 6A Unshielded Twisted Pairs (UTP) Cable

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Superior Essex Communications LP announces the new and improved 10Gain® XP Category 6A Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables with an industry-leading, nominal diameter of 0.275 inches. The redesigned 10Gain® XP cable offers customers a smaller cable size that allows for higher cable density in conduits, pathways, and shelves. In addition, the smaller form-factor of the cable makes deployment easier.

“The new reduced diameter 10Gain® XP CAT 6A cable provides our customers with improved space utilization in horizontal and vertical pathways, while maintaining the same great performance that our customers need to run their data center applications”

Each cable is constructed with a unique, non-conducting Isolation Wrap around the core that blocks Alien Crosstalk (AXT), which is electromagnetic interference from adjacent cables. This cable maintains the same 3 dB AXT margin performance over the requirements of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2.

“The new reduced diameter 10Gain® XP CAT 6A cable provides our customers with improved space utilization in horizontal and vertical pathways, while maintaining the same great performance that our customers need to run their data center applications,” says Dr. Paul Neveux, Director of Premises Product Management at Superior Essex Communications LP.

The Superior Essex 10Gain® XP CAT 6A cables are also part of the NextLAN AXi cabling system that offers 4 dB of AXT margin over ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 requirements, which aids in supporting higher data rate demands as well as future technologies. The electrical performance of the system exceeds industry requirements for permanent link with lengths as short as 10 ft. This attribute is extremely important for data centers, since many other CAT 6A cabling systems often do not meet all permanent link electrical requirements in these short lengths.
