Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of a Cat6a cable over Cat5e or Cat6?
Cat6a cables are designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over longer distances (up to 100 meters) compared to Cat6, which is limited to 55 meters for 10GbE. This ensures higher bandwidth and future-proof performance for your network infrastructure.
Why is LSZH important for this Ethernet cable?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material is critical for safety in public buildings, data centers, and enclosed spaces. In the event of a fire, it emits significantly less toxic smoke and corrosive gases than standard PVC cables, protecting personnel and sensitive electronic equipment.
Can this cable power high-wattage PoE devices?
Yes, this cable supports PoE++ (4PPoE) with a total Power over Ethernet budget of 100W. This allows it to power advanced devices like Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, PTZ cameras, and thin clients directly through the Ethernet connection.
How does S/FTP shielding improve network performance?
S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. This ensures a cleaner signal, reducing data errors and maintaining consistent network speeds, especially in environments with many cables or electrical noise.
