The new ATLAS-X1 FDT MILLENNIUM Category 6A global copper shielded system from Leviton features the company's next generation Category 6A shielded cable named FDT for foil reduced diameter technology. The FDT cable utilizes a foiled/unshielded twisted pair (F/UTP) construction and delivers the smallest outside diameter F/UTP Category 6A-rated cable on the market and is available in all appropriate fire safety ratings worldwide, which includes Plenum, Riser, CPR and LSZH.

The ATLAS-X1 FDT MILLENNIUM system effectively suppresses alien crosstalk and is ideal for protectingSource: LevitonSource: Leviton signal integrity in noisy indoor environments where pathway space is at a premium. In short, this translates to easier installations and greater cost savings.

The all new FDT cable is enabled by Precision Twist Technology, a proprietary technology that precisely controls variation in the cable’s twist, enabling Category 6A performance in a much smaller form factor. This facilitates exceptional alien crosstalk performance, surpassing industry standards, all within a compact cable design. It is this compact design that enables customers to decrease installation costs, leveraging smaller trays and conduits in new builds and reusing existing pathways in retrofit projects.

Applications include, but are not limited to:

  • 10GBase-T network applications and mission-critical systems
  • Optimal total cost of ownership for financial, health care, government, transportation and educational environments
  • Space-constrained retrofits and upgrades
  • Network applications sensitive to EMI/RFI
  • Networks with high bandwidth utilization requirements
  • Applications where ensuring data security and integrity is critical
  • Applications requiring Power over Ethernet support up to 100 W
