ETL Listed Cables

Description

ETL Listed Cables – Certified Performance & Safety

ETL Listed cables are verified to meet stringent safety and performance benchmarks defined by national and international standards. When a cable is ETL listed, it has undergone rigorous third-party testing to ensure compliance in areas such as fire resistance, electrical safety, and transmission reliability.

ETL Listed Cables That You Can Find At TS Cables

ETL Listed cables ensure you meet building codes and industry regulations while delivering dependable connectivity. Just as structured cabling requires quality materials, proper installation with electrical cable ties, bulk zip ties, and cable management ties ensures neat, secure, and compliant deployments.

Cat6 ETL Listed Unshielded Twisted Pair (UFP) and ETL Listed Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP)

Cat6 ETL Listed cables are designed for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The UTL cables offer up to 250 MHz bandwidth with exceptional noise cancellation. They are widely used in residential wiring and small-scale commercial applications. For clean installations, electrical zip ties and electrical wire ties help keep cable runs organized without damaging the cable jacket.

Cat6 FTP ETL Listed cables include an additional foil shield, making them ideal for high-interference environments such as factories and data-heavy enterprises. The ETL listing guarantees that shielding integrity and fire resistance meet certified safety standards. Installers often rely on electronic cable ties or bulk zip ties to secure bundles without compromising the foil shield.

Cat6A UTP and FTP – ETL Listed Advanced Cabling

Cat6A ETL Listed cables support up to 10-Gigabit Ethernet with 500 MHz bandwidth. This makes them suitable for enterprises preparing for future-proof networks. The Cat6a UTP cables come with an ETL certification that ensures flame retardancy, durability, and compliance with ANSI/TIA standards. Proper management with cable management ties ensures optimal bend radius and long-term reliability.

Cat6A FTP ETL Listed cables combine high bandwidth capacity with foil shielding for mission-critical applications in hospitals, data centers, and financial institutions. With ETL listing, these cables are guaranteed to perform under demanding environments while meeting fire-safety ratings. Using electrical zip ties ensures secure bundling without applying excessive pressure that could damage shielding.

Buying Guide – Key Considerations to Keep in Mind

When selecting ETL Listed cables, take into account the following technical factors:

Bandwidth & Category

  • Cat6: Up to 250 MHz, 1 Gbps
  • Cat6A: Up to 500 MHz, 10 Gbps

Higher categories (Cat7/Cat8) support greater speeds and shielding for data-intensive applications.

Shielding Options

  • UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) for standard environments.
  • FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) for areas with high EMI or cross-talk risk.

Jacket Rating

  • Riser-rated for vertical shafts.
  • Plenum-rated for air-handling spaces.
  • Outdoor-rated for UV, moisture, and temperature resistance.

Compliance

  • Verify UL 444, ANSI/TIA-568, and NEC standards alongside ETL certification.

Length & Installation

  • Available in spools (500ft / 1000ft) for large-scale projects.
  • Use cable management ties and accessories for proper routing.

Connector Compatibility

  • Ensure compatibility with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, and patch panels.

FAQs

What is ETL listed?

ETL listed means a product has been tested by Intertek and complies with recognized safety and performance standards.

How long does ETL listing take?

Certification can take several weeks to months, depending on the complexity of the product and the standards being tested.

What does ETL listing stand for?

ETL stands for Electrical Testing Laboratories, a mark of independent product compliance.

What is the difference between UL and ETL listed?

Both are valid certifications, but ETL testing is done by Intertek, while UL is tested by Underwriters Laboratories. Both confirm adherence to safety standards.

What is better, ETL listed vs UL listed?

Neither is “better.” Both indicate a product meets the required codes. The choice often depends on regional acceptance and project specifications.
