Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cat6a and Cat6 cables?
Cat6a cables are designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds at frequencies up to 500MHz, whereas Cat6 cables are typically limited to 10Gbps over shorter distances (up to 55 meters) and lower frequencies (250MHz).
What does LSZH mean for this cable?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen. This jacket material is designed to emit very little smoke and no toxic halogenated gases when exposed to fire, making it safer for use in enclosed or public spaces.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat6a cable supports PoE++ (4PPoE), capable of delivering up to 100W of power, making it suitable for powering a wide range of PoE-enabled devices.
What is the shielding type on this cable?
This cable features S/FTP shielding, meaning each twisted pair is individually screened (foiled), and the entire cable bundle is also screened (foiled), providing maximum protection against EMI/RFI.
