CAT 6A cable is considerably different from previous generation cable.
Its larger outside diameter (OD), corresponding larger minimum bend radius,
and heavier weight will change installation requirements for routing and
handling as well as design of pathways and spaces.
How is CAT 6A Cable Unique?
TIA standard allows up to .354" outside diameter (OD), a 54% increase over
CAT 6 OD average of .23"
More than twice the weight of typical CAT 6 cable
Tighter twists and larger conductor size than CAT 6 and 5e
Typically comes on large reels and requires special reel-handling equipment

1st Generation
UTP
2nd Generation
UTP
2nd generation UTP cable also has
tighter twists and larger conductors
than CAT 6, but incorporates new
cable design elements such as ller
tubes or non-conductive isolation
wraps that allow a smaller cable
OD while retaining 6A performance.
2nd generation cable is lighter and
offers better performance with a
smaller bend radius.
Shielded
Shielded cable provides higher
immunity to EMI/RFI and has a
smaller OD, typically .29" - .32".
However, the cable has a drain
wire and foil shield that will
increase installation time. In
addition, every component in
the system must be shielded
and properly bonded to ground
in order to be effective.
CAT 6A Cable Types
Most 1st generation UTP cable
is designed and manufactured
with tighter twists, larger
conductor size, and more
complex center splines
than CAT 6 cable. These
characteristics increase cable
OD and result in heavier cable
weight, reduced ll capacity,
and a larger bend radius.
2nd Gen 1st Gen shielded
Maximum Horizontal
Cable Distance
TIA species 90 meters
(295 feet) as the maximum
permanent link length and
100 meters (328 feet) for
maximum channel length.
The standards do not specify
a minimum length, but 10
feet is recommended to avoid
return loss and NEXT issues
due to the higher signal
frequency. Leviton is the only
manufacturer to provide lifetime
warranty coverage on qualied
installations for a 10 foot
permanent link, critical in data
center applications.

Cable Reels
Typically, CAT 6A cable will come on
reels instead of in pull boxes and will
require racks/carts that can support
their larger size.
Cable Pulling
The maximum pulling tension for a
4-pair balanced twisted pair cable must
not exceed 25 lbf (110N). Exceeding
this tension will result in transmission
degradation and may affect the systems
ability to pass certication testing.

Bend Radius
Slack Loops
Placement
To maintain CAT 6A performance, minimum bend radius
should exceed 4x OD for UTP and shielded cable. This radius
is signicantly larger than CAT 6 and 5e. Plan carefully to
ensure there is sufcient space throughout cable runs to
maintain proper bend radius.
TIA recommends storing 10 feet of extra cable in
the telecom room and 12-18 inches above work area
installations for re-terminations and to accommodate
moves, adds, and changes. Use an extended or gure 8
loop conguration to alleviate cable stress. Cable slack in
bundled or excessive loops has been shown to degrade
cable performance and is associated with return loss
failures. Plan carefully to ensure there is sufcient space
and support for heavy CAT 6A cable slack loops.
Leviton approved-partner CAT 6A cable may be placed in the same
tray with CAT 6, 5e, and other category-rated cables. In addition,
Leviton warrants its product performance whether strict combing or
randomizing dressing methods are used. As with all cable runs, large or
heavy cable bundles should be positioned under other cable to prevent
crushing. Follow NEC code for separating power and data cables.
Pulling Lubricants
To maintain CAT 6A performance, choose spray or wipe
lubricants specically designed for data communications
cables. Using other lubricants can degrade performance;
the majority of insertion loss failures have been traced
back to the use of general purpose lubricants.

Cable Tray Fill
TIA-569 recommends 25% ll at initial installation and up to 50% with unplanned additions.
If a single cable tray will also carry power cables, a physical barrier is required to comply with
the NEC. Finally, ensure tray support spacing is sufcient to prevent excessive sagging.
Consider solid bottom tray for higher density applications.
Conduit Fill
Structural & Cable Supports
A maximum conduit ll ratio
of 40% is recommended
by TIA-569 standards to

allow for future expansion.
Stronger anchors and threaded
rods are needed to support heavier

Use properly sized J hooks and

Consolidation Points & Zone Enclosures
TIA standards allow an optional consolidation point (CP) within
a permanent link. A CAT 6A 110 block is Levitons standard
CP solution; density is 1/3 less than CAT 6 110 blocks (64-pair
CAT 6A capacity vs. 96-pair for CAT 6 in the same footprint).
Consolidation points may be mounted into a Leviton zone
enclosure, which are available in several styles:
Ceiling- or oor-mount
Plenum-rated
Active or passive equipment rated
Cable Tray Sizing
To determine the proper tray size based on 25% ll, use the
following calculation:
Step Instructions Example
1 Determine cable diameter and total number of cables
.30" diameter each,
100 cables total
2 Square the cable diameter .30 x .30 = .09
3 Multiply result by number of cables .09 x 100 = 9
4
Multiply result by .785 to factor for cable roundness
(This result is the total cross-sectional area of your cables)
9 x .785 = 7.065 sq in
5 Multiply result by 4 to obtain pathway size at 25% ll 7.065 x 4 = 28.26 sq in
At 25% ll, a 28 sq in area is needed, so a standard 4" x 8" tray would be adequate.
Note: For conduit, size for 40% ll by substituting 2.5 as the multiplier in Step 5
Zone enclosures also accept patch panels and/or active
equipment, and are then considered telecom enclosures (TEs).
Firestopping
CAT 6A cables may require larger rewall penetrations. Always follow
applicable national code (e.g. NEC or CEC) or a superceding authority-
having jurisdiction (AHJ) codes for restopping requirements. T

CABLING
Organizing cable runs at racks and cabinets is essential
to a well-managed network. Larger, heavier CAT 6A

All Leviton trunks include a braided sleeve with pulling eye to protect
terminations during shipment, ensure easy installation, and keep trunk
assembly organized. In addition, our pre-terminated trunks are 100% factory
tested and shipped with test results and individual cable serial numbers.
No further testing is necessary after installation, and qualied installations
are eligible for our limited lifetime product and performance warranty.
Custom-conguration options:
Cable type
Breakout and overall length (10-295 feet/90 meters)
Jack, plug, or open termination
Even or staggered connector alignment

Leviton SlimLine Patch Cords
Leviton CAT 6A patch cords feature our exclusive
SlimLine plug design. The narrow prole plugs reduce
congestion in high-density applications. In addition,
they feature a strain relief boot for long-term network
performance, and a snagless design to prevent tab
breakage. An industry-leading outside diameter of
.240" further reduces congestion while 26-gauge
stranded cable provides maximum ex-life.
Cable construction provides excellent alien crosstalk
(AXT) suppression and EMI/RFI protection. In fact,
the same cord is deployed for UTP and shielded
applications. SlimLine patch cords are component-
rated for optimum channel performance. The cords are
available in 6 standard lengths from 3 to 20 feet, and

cable. For F/UTP cable, pull the foil or braided shield back
over the jacket, and wrap the drain wire around the shield.
For U/FTP cable, fold the foil from each twisted pair over
the jacket and wrap the drain wire around the shield.
Insert the wires from the stripped cable into the stuffer
cap through the hole (Figure A).
Determine whether to use wiring scheme T568A or
T568B. Insert the wires into their correct positions per
the desired wiring scheme (Figure B).
Using a ush cutter, cut the excess wire off as close
to the edge of the cap as possible (Figure C). Wire tips
should not protrude more than 1/32 of an inch.

Ensure that the drain wire is wrapped around the cable and
shield. Tie-wrap the drain wire to the shield. Do not over-
tighten the tie wrap! It should be snug, but not so tight that

Alien crosstalk (AXT) can have a
serious impact on CAT 6A cabling
system performance. Choose
Leviton and get guaranteed
AXT suppression. Independent
3rd-party and Leviton tests have
proven that properly installed
Leviton CAT 6A solutions have
signicant AXT headroom over
the standards requirements,
even for permanent links as short
as 10 feet. As a result, properly
installed Leviton systems with
approved cable do not require
eld alien crosstalk testing. In
addition, Leviton pre-terminated,
pre-tested trunk cables do not
require any eld testing.

TESTING
AXT Testing Preparation
AXT testing measures the unwanted noise coupled to the cable being tested
(called the Victim or Disturbed) by six surrounding cables (called Disturbers).
Two tests need to be performed: The Power Sum Alien Near-end Crosstalk
(PSANEXT) test and the Power Sum Alien Attenuation-to-Crosstalk Ratio, Far-end
(PSAACRF) test. Results for the remaining AXT tests are taken as part of these
two, so although they are not directly provided, a pass result for PSANEXT and
PSAACRF ensures passing results for AACRF, AFEXT, ANEXT, and PSAFEXT. A 2%
sample of the installed cables is typically recommended; testing the longest cables
in the installation will provide the most meaningful results.
AXT tests are time-consuming! Budget AXT test time into your bid
Handheld test instruments (eld testers) require an adjunct AXT module
A laptop computer is also typically used with the eld tester
The eld testers AXT application software must be loaded onto the laptop
Installation personnel will require training prior to performing AXT testing
AXT testing requires special planning, equipment and training:

Is AXT Testing Required?
Even though Leviton does not
require eld AXT testing for its
CAT 6A solutions, you may still be
required to perform this testing.
Read project specications
carefully to determine if they
call for eld AXT testing. If
they do, ask for a waiver based
on the proven performance of
Levitons CAT 6A solutions. If the
customer wont grant a waiver,
youll need to perform the testing.
Read the following AXT Testing
Preparation section to gain a
better understanding of eld AXT
testing requirements.
