Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary advantage of a Cat6a cable over Cat5e or Cat6?
Cat6a cables are designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) over longer distances (up to 100 meters) and support higher frequencies (500 MHz) compared to Cat5e (1GbE, 100 MHz) and Cat6 (1GbE up to 100m, 10GbE up to 55m, 250 MHz), providing superior performance and future-proofing.
Why is a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket important for this cable?
An LSZH jacket is crucial for safety in enclosed or public spaces like data centers, hospitals, and schools. In the event of a fire, LSZH cables produce significantly less smoke and no toxic halogen gases, protecting occupants and sensitive electronic equipment.
Can this cable power high-wattage devices using Power over Ethernet?
Yes, this Cat6a cable supports PoE++ (4PPoE) and can deliver up to 100 watts of power. This makes it suitable for powering high-demand devices such as advanced wireless access points, PTZ security cameras, or thin clients directly over the network cable.
What kind of shielding does this cable use and what benefit does it provide?
This cable uses S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, which provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding ensures signal integrity and reliable data transmission, especially in environments with many electronic devices.
