Cat6A F/FTD 23AWG Duct Grade Outdoor Network Cable Black

Cat6A F/FTD 23AWG duct grade cable, in black, built for external runs and 10GBASE-T links. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 metres, putting it in the same performance bracket as internal Cat6A but with a sheath rated for underground ducting and outdoor exposure.

Key specs

• Category: Cat6A shielded (F/FTD construction) for enhanced EMI protection
• Conductor: 23AWG, giving reduced signal attenuation and improved power delivery
• Bandwidth: 10GBASE-T supported over the full 100 m channel
• Sheath: duct grade, black, for underground and outdoor routing
• Termination: compatible with RJ45 connectors, patch panels and shielded keystone jacks

Where it fits on a job

The F/FTD shield improves resilience in electrically noisy environments, which matters on external or inter-building runs sharing routes with power or other services. The 23AWG conductor size supports PoE and PoE+ delivery to IP cameras, wireless access points and switches, so it's a reasonable spec for outdoor CCTV backhaul as well as general structured cabling and data centre links.

Because the sheath is duct grade, it's intended for underground ducting and direct outdoor routing rather than internal riser or plenum use — specify accordingly on the schedule.

Compatibility note: shielded termination hardware (RJ45, patch panels, keystones) is required throughout the link to preserve the F/FTD screening and maintain 10GBASE-T performance to 100 m.</description_md> <meta_title>Cat6A F/FTD 23AWG Duct Grade Outdoor Cable, Black</meta_title> <meta_description>Cat6A F/FTD 23AWG duct grade outdoor network cable, black.
