Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cat6a and Cat6 cables?
Cat6a cables support higher frequencies (500 MHz vs 250 MHz) and are designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over longer distances (up to 100 meters), whereas Cat6 is typically limited to 1 Gbps over that distance.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable specifically supports PoE++ (4PPoE) and can deliver up to 100W of power, making it suitable for high-demand PoE devices.
What does LSZH mean for cable safety?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. Cables with this jacketing produce significantly less smoke and no toxic halogenated gases when exposed to fire, improving safety in enclosed spaces.
Is this cable shielded?
Yes, this is an S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) cable, meaning both the individual wire pairs and the overall cable bundle are shielded to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
