The Carlisle MX10G-24 and PIC E6A6824 are Category 6A Ethernet cables designed to deliver 10Gbps performance for aerospace and high-speed data applications. Both cables are engineered for demanding environments requiring superior EMI protection and reliable transmission over extended distances.
GIGAFLIGHT’s GF824E-6A is a suitable alternative that meets or exceeds the performance of both cables while offering advantages in lead time, flexibility, weight optimization, and cost savings.
Why Choose GF824E-6A?
Superior Performance with Proven Reliability
The GF824E-6A is constructed with 4 individual 100 ohm, 24 AWG stranded, silver-plated HSCA conductors with dual high-temperature insulation, wrapped with 100% composite foil shield and 90% silver-plated copper braid. This advanced construction provides:
- 10 Gigabit Performance: Full compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A standards, delivering 10Gbps speeds up to 246 feet (74.98m)
- Superior EMI Protection: Dual-layer shielding design exceeds protection in most electromagnetic environments
- Lightweight Design: Optimized construction reduces weight without performance compromise
- Enhanced Flexibility: Stranded conductor design enables easier routing in complex aerospace installations
- Temperature Rated: High-temperature insulation handles -55°C to +150°C operational range
Real-World Applications
The GF824E-6A is ideal for:
- Cabin Management Systems: High-speed data backbone for modern passenger connectivity and in-flight systems
- Avionics Integration: Reliable 10G performance for flight-critical system interconnect
- In-Flight Entertainment (IFE): Fast, stable data transmission for passenger entertainment systems
- Ethernet Backbone Networks: Aircraft Local Area Networks requiring high-speed, low-latency performance
- Ground Support Systems: Non-flight applications requiring CAT6A performance with rapid deployment
Connectors
GIGAFLIGHT offers a complete line of RJ45 and specialty connectors compatible with the GF824E-6A, or as a suitable alternative, the cable is easily interchangeable with connectors specified for MX10G-24 and E6A6824.
