FAQs

What is the maximum speed and performance capability of this Cat6a cable?
This Cat6a cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) networks, delivering speeds up to 10Gbps. It's specifically designed for bandwidth-intensive applications and features shielding (STP) to protect the high-speed connection from electromagnetic interference and noise. The cable is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements, ensuring reliable 10Gbps performance up to its full rated distance.
What are the physical specifications and design features of this cable?
This is a 3-foot (0.91m) aqua-colored Cat6a patch cable weighing approximately 0.13 lb. It features snagless boots to protect the RJ-45 connector tabs and prevent catching during installation. The cable uses a PVC jacket material and includes both stranded conductors and molded connectors. Each end has gold and nickel-plated RJ-45 male connectors, and the cable includes individual length labels for easy identification.
What type of shielding does this cable offer and why is it important?
This cable features Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) construction, which provides comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and noise. The shielding is particularly important for maintaining signal integrity in 10 Gigabit networks and environments with high electromagnetic interference. Each pair is bonded together to maintain precise twist-spacing throughout the cable length, which helps minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This Cat6a patch cable is compatible with all 10GBase-T network devices including network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels. It's backward compatible with earlier categories like Cat6 and Cat5e equipment. The RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure universal compatibility with standard Ethernet ports on networking equipment.
What certifications and standards does this cable meet?
The cable meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements and is UL94V-0 certified for safety. Each cable is fully tested to ensure compliance with these standards, guaranteeing performance for 10 Gigabit networks. These certifications ensure the cable meets industry standards for high-speed data transmission, safety, and reliability.
