Foiling EMI with aluminum
A new revolutionary concept, FxTP LAN cable, uses a special aluminum foil to fully screen and separate twisted copper pairs. It eliminates Electromagnetic Interference, simplifies stripping, saves installation time and improves connectivity.
Multiple advantages
Offered for Category 6a and 7 LAN cables, this fully-patented design is the first real breakthrough in years. It eliminates either the plastic cross, the individually foil-wrapped pair, or the copper braid, and reduces copper content, making it lighter and cheaper to produce. The fact that it can be connected quickly, safely and easily to any type of connector around its 360° circumference makes it truly remarkable.
Simplified installation
Faced with competition and financial constraints, LAN planners, installers and final users will appreciate the FxTP solution which eliminates the need to manipulate four aluminum tapes and/or a braid, with a risk of tearing or damage.
Brainstorming, prototypes and testing
We had an initial brainstorming which drew on our knowledge of aluminum tapes and previous F/UTP (Shielded Twisted Pair) or PIMF (Pairs in Metal Foil) designs. We concluded that it was technically possible to assemble four twisted pairs in an aluminum cross that would also totally shield them from EMI, while at the same time offering performance equivalent to individually screened pairs. We then produced prototypes and tested them. We are now at the industrialization phase, with production planned for the near future.
Cross-over technology
By combining the mechanical advantages of F/UTP and the transmission and EMI performance of PIMF cables, FxTP cables will appeal to LAN customers looking for significant time and installation savings.
