PD-Connex CX195-1 - 1.0 meter CAT6A S/FTP Professional Network Cable
The PD-Connex CX195-1 data cable is a superior connectivity solution designed for high-speed networks and professional environments that demand maximum reliability. Measuring 1 meter in length, this CAT6A cable is perfect for precise interconnections in racks, workstations, or home entertainment systems. Its advanced construction ensures stable and fast data transmission, minimizing errors and latency in critical applications.
The cable's internal structure consists of four twisted pairs of CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) conductors, designed for optimal performance in both analog and digital signal transmissions. What truly sets this cable apart is its robust double-shielding system. Each twisted pair is protected by an aluminum foil (FTP), and the entire set of pairs is wrapped in a tinned copper braid (S/FTP). This design provides exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring a clean and stable signal even in environments with a high density of cables or electronic equipment.
Both ends are equipped with high-quality E-CON RJ45 connectors, ensuring a secure and durable physical connection. The entire assembly is protected by a flexible yet durable PVC jacket, allowing for easy installation in confined spaces without compromising cable integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What advantage does a CAT6A cable offer over a CAT6 cable?
A CAT6A cable, such as the CX195-1, supports twice the bandwidth (up to 500 MHz) compared to a CAT6 cable (250 MHz). This allows it to guarantee speeds of 10 Gbps over distances of up to 100 meters, while a CAT6 cable only supports that speed over much shorter distances. Furthermore, the CAT6A standard has stricter requirements for preventing crosstalk (interference between nearby cables).
What does S/FTP shielding mean?
S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) indicates a double level of protection. Each of the four wire pairs is wrapped in its own metal foil (FTP) to protect it from interference with the other pairs. Additionally, the entire set of pairs is covered by an overall twisted metal mesh (S) that isolates it from external electromagnetic interference. It is one of the most complete and effective shielding methods.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
No. The PVC cover is designed for indoor use. It is not resistant to prolonged exposure to UV rays, humidity, or extreme temperatures, so it is not recommended for outdoor installations.
Do CCA drivers affect performance?
Copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors are a more economical alternative to solid copper. For patching applications and short lengths like this cable (1 meter), performance is excellent and meets high-speed networking standards. For very long runs or high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, solid copper is generally recommended.
