3M Volition

500MHz 10 Gigabit Cable

Category 6A F/UTP LSOH
Volition 10 Gigabit cables are specially designed to ensure
total immunity to alien crosstalk to 500 MHz. They were
developed to exceed the requirements of the 6 around 1 test,
that is, the Powersum of ANEXT effects generated by 6 cables
(or 24 pairs) on one pair of an adjacent cable.
All constructions of 10 Gigabit Volition cables have general
shielding and/or shielding by pair. Volition 10 Gigabit cables
have unequalled immunity against AXTLK.
Volition 10 Gigabit cables allow easy installation, with no
particular precautions, thanks to their round shape. Connection
to Volition OCK10S8 jack remains simple and natural. Cable
laying is easy thanks to the external diameter of the cable, which
is the same as the Volition Category 6/Class E 250MHz cable.
Volition 10 Gigabit cables are available in LSOH versions.
