Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a?
Cat6a supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances (up to 100 meters) and at higher frequencies (500 MHz) compared to Cat6, which is typically limited to 55 meters for 10 Gigabit speeds.
Why is S/FTP shielding important for this cable?
S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and performance in electrically noisy environments like server rooms or home entertainment setups.
Can this cable power high-wattage devices?
Yes, this Cat6a cable supports PoE++ (4PPoE) with a total budget of 100W, making it suitable for powering high-consumption devices such as advanced Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, PTZ security cameras, and thin clients.
What does Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) mean for my business?
LSZH jacket material ensures that in the event of a fire, the cable emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases, which is vital for occupant safety and compliance with building codes in commercial and public spaces.
