PD-Connex CX195-15 - 15 Meter CAT6A S/FTP Professional Network Cable
The PD-Connex CX195-15 is a high-performance data cable designed to deliver superior, hassle-free network connectivity in both analog and digital environments. At 15 meters long, this CAT6A cable is the ideal solution for interconnecting and patching devices that require a stable, high-speed connection over medium distances, whether in an office, recording studio, stage, or home. Its robust construction and advanced specifications ensure reliable data transmission, ready for the demands of modern networks.
The cable's internal structure has been precisely engineered to maximize performance and minimize interference. It features four twisted pairs of conductors that meet the CAT6A standard, enabling transfer speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second and a bandwidth of up to 500 MHz. To protect signal integrity, the cable incorporates double shielding (S/FTP), consisting of an overall tinned copper braid and an individual aluminum foil for each twisted pair. This design effectively prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk from power cables or other nearby devices.
Both ends are equipped with high-quality RJ45 E-Con connectors, ensuring a secure and durable physical connection. The flexible and durable black PVC outer jacket not only protects the internal components but also facilitates installation in any configuration, allowing the cable to be easily bent and guided without risk of damaging the conductors.

Product benefits
Investing in PD-Connex CX195-15 cable results in a significantly improved network experience. The CAT6A specification future-proofs your infrastructure, ensuring it can handle the growing demands for internet speeds, 4K/8K streaming, latency-free online gaming, and high-volume data transfers. Superior S/FTP shielding ensures a more stable and cleaner connection than unshielded (UTP) cables, eliminating dropped connections and packet loss, which is critical in professional networked audio/video environments (such as Dante) and offices with a high density of electronic equipment.
Use cases
This network cable is exceptionally versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Connecting desktop computers, laptops and servers to switches, routers or patch panels.
- Interconnection of professional audio and video equipment operating over IP networks (Dante protocol, AVB, etc.).
- Installation of temporary and reliable networks at live events, conferences and stages.
- Connecting video game consoles (PlayStation, Xbox) and Smart TVs to the network to maximize speed and minimize lag.
- Use in data centers and server rooms for patching between equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between a CAT6 cable and this CAT6A cable?
The main difference is performance. While a CAT6 cable operates at a bandwidth of 250 MHz, CAT6A doubles that figure to 500 MHz. This allows CAT6A to reliably maintain speeds of 10 Gbps over longer distances and offers better protection against crosstalk.
What does it mean for the cable to be S/FTP and why is it important?
S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) means that the cable has an overall mesh shield (Screened) and each twisted pair is also covered with an aluminum foil (Foiled). This double shielding is the most complete and effective way to protect the signal from external interference, ensuring a more stable and secure connection.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
The PVC cover is designed primarily for indoor use. Although durable, it is not treated to withstand prolonged exposure to the elements, such as direct sunlight or extreme humidity.
Does conductor material (CCA) affect performance?
For data transmission at the speeds and distances for which it is designed (up to 10 Gbps over 15 meters), the CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) conductor offers excellent and reliable performance. It is an effective alternative for most standard network applications.
