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 over longer distances (up to 100 meters) compared to Cat6 cables.
Can this cable be used for PoE devices?
Yes, this Cat6a cable supports PoE++ (4PPoE) and can deliver up to 100W of power, making it suitable for high-power devices.
What does LSZH mean for this cable?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This jacket material is designed to emit minimal smoke and no corrosive halogen gases when exposed to fire, improving safety in enclosed spaces.
What is the shielding type S/FTP?
S/FTP means Screened Foiled Twisted Pair. Each pair of wires is individually foil-shielded, and the entire cable bundle is also covered by a foil shield, providing excellent protection against interference.
