Overview
Kramer's BC−UNIKAT cable is a unified CAT6a cable that handles all Pro AV and IT signals. Over four individually screened twisted pairs, this U/FTP CAT6A cable runs Kramer’s DGKat™ technology, 4K HDBaseT™ technology or LAN applications and ensures optimal signal performance.
Features
- Quality Construction — 4 shielded twisted pairs (U/FTP) of 23AWG solid copper conductors are cabled together in an unshielded outer jacket.
- Optimized for Kramer Hardware
- HDBaseT Recommended — www.hdbaset.org/hdbaset–recommended–cables/.
- Reaction to Fire Classification — Dca–s2,d1,a1 (optional: B2ca–s1,d1,a1).
- RJ–45 Connector — The larger diameter 23AWG twisted pair cable requires a special RJ–45 connector.
- Length — Available in reel boxes of 100m (328ft) & wooden drums of 305/500m (1000/1640ft).
Applications
- Structure cabling for horizontal and building backbone cable.
- IT, LAN, HDBaseT and Ethernet installations.
- Ideal for 10GbE and legacy speed applications.
- IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at and IEEE 802.3bt.
