Belden, 500 m Cat6a Cat6A Cable, Blue Unterminated to Unterminated Low Smoke Zero Halogen Sheath, S/FTP

This power cable assembly provides long-range, shielded electrical transmission for industrial and automation settings. Designed for installations where reduced-hazard materials and extended cable runs are required, it connects equipment over a continuous 500 m length while supporting low-voltage power distribution up to 72 V. The jacket's halogen-free composition reduces harmful emissions in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor and confined-space environments that demand safer cable materials.

• 500 m continuous length supports long-distance installations
• S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference on supply lines
• Low smoke zero halogen jacket limits toxic gas output during combustion
• Blue sheath enables Visual identification in complex cable routes
• Unterminated ends allow custom termination to specific connectors
• Rated for 72V operation suitable for low-voltage networks

• Suitable for industrial power distribution across factory floors
• Ideal for automation bus runs between control cabinets
• Used for connecting electrical equipment in confined public spaces
• Can be used for machinery power feeds requiring halogen-free materials
• Used with shielded signal systems where EMI control is required

Strip the outer sheath to expose the foil and braid, maintain shield continuity by folding the braid back over the jacket and ensure individual conductors are terminated with appropriate lugs or ferrules for secure clamping.

The halogen-free compound emits substantially lower corrosive gases and smoke density compared with standard PVC, reducing risk to nearby electronics and personnel evacuation visibility.

The S/FTP construction provides an overall braided shield with individually screened pairs, so grounding at a single point or using a managed grounding scheme minimises ground loop formation while preserving EMI attenuation.

For continuous 500 m runs, plan for mechanical support to prevent strain, avoid Sharp bends that exceed manufacturer bend-radius limits, and include segregation from high-voltage lines to maintain signal integrity.

The assembly is intended for systems operating up to 72 V, so it should not be applied in higher-voltage circuits to prevent insulation breakdown and safety hazards.
