New Leviton Cat 6A U/UTP copper cables

Leviton has announced new Cat 6A U/UTP Cables in EuroClass Eca and Dca, LSHF/LSZH and CMR, adding to the company’s extensive selection of Category 6A cabling systems. The cables are compatible with Atlas-X1™ and eXtreme™ connectivity, providing complete end-to-end systems all from a single provider.


The new cable design maximizes installation efficiency, enabling installers to terminate the cable with Leviton connectivity more than twice as fast as leading competitive products that incorporate pair separators and foils in their UTP cable designs.

Leviton Dca EuroClass cable includes an s1a smoke rating, the best smoke emissions rating available. Internationally, the Dca cable is also UL Riser listed for those customers requiring CMR cable, while the Eca cable provides a cost-competitive Leviton-made LSHF/LSZH solution.

Leviton has specifically designed these cables for Power over Ethernet applications (PoE), with excellent thermal dissipation characteristics, exceeding industry standards for PoE up to 100 watts.

“We are proud to introduce additional Cat 6A cables, which are manufactured in-house in the UK and designed for high-performance networks,” said Jonathan Dunbar, Senior Product Manager for Leviton. “The cables are made in Leviton’s ISO 9001 certified facility in Glenrothes, Scotland, ensuring the highest quality standards.”

Additional cable features include the following:

●Support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100 watts, both as cable and in a channel with the industry’s best PoE-optimized jack (Atlas-X1)

●Packaging is 100% recyclable, and the 305 meter reels allow for greater shipping densities, further reducing shipping costs and carbon footprint

●Cable is part of a high-performing Cat 6A system, with cable made in the UK and connectivity made in the US

●Third-party tested and certified for component, channel and permanent link compliance

●Full compliance with ISO and EN Electrical Standards, adding peace of mind

●Backed by a 25-year system warranty to protect investment
