Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a cable?
Cat6a (Augmented) cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances (up to 100 meters) and at higher frequencies (500 MHz) compared to standard Cat6 (55 meters for 10 Gigabit, 250 MHz), making it more suitable for future-proof high-speed networks.
Why is S/FTP shielding important for this Cat6a cable?
S/FTP shielding provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can degrade signal quality. This ensures more reliable and stable 10 Gigabit connections, especially in environments with many electrical devices.
Can this bulk cable be used for outdoor installations?
No, this cable has a CMG (CM) rated PVC jacket, which is suitable for general purpose indoor installations. For outdoor use, a cable with a UV-resistant, direct burial, or outdoor-rated jacket would be required to withstand environmental elements.
What type of connectors are compatible with this bulk Cat6a cable?
This bulk cable is designed to be terminated with standard RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks specifically rated for Cat6a performance and 23 AWG solid conductors, ensuring proper signal integrity for 10 Gigabit networks.
