Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary advantage of a Cat6a cable over a standard Cat6 cable?
Cat6a cables support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over longer distances (up to 100 meters) and operate at a higher frequency of 500 MHz, compared to Cat6's 1 Gigabit Ethernet at 250 MHz. This provides significantly higher bandwidth and better performance for demanding applications.
Why is a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket important for this Ethernet cable?
An LSZH jacket is crucial for fire safety in commercial and public buildings. In the event of a fire, LSZH cables produce minimal smoke and no toxic halogens, reducing harm to occupants and damage to sensitive equipment, which is often a regulatory requirement.
Can this Cat6a cable be used with Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, including PoE++ (4PPoE), with a total power budget of 100W. This allows it to reliably power high-demand devices such as advanced Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras, and thin clients.
What type of shielding does this cable use, and what is its benefit?
This cable uses S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, which provides individual foil shields for each twisted pair, plus an overall braided screen. This robust shielding offers excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk, ensuring stable and error-free data transmission.
