FAQ
What is the difference between S/FTP and UTP shielding?
S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) provides two layers of protection: an overall foil shield around all wire pairs plus individual foil shielding around each twisted pair. This offers superior protection against electromagnetic interference compared to UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), which has no shielding. S/FTP is recommended for environments with significant electrical noise or where maximum signal integrity is required.
What network speeds does this Cat6 cable support?
This Category 6 cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (1000 Mbps) at the full 100-meter channel length. With its 550 MHz frequency rating, it can handle Gigabit Ethernet applications and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks. The cable meets TIA/EIA standards for Cat6 performance in structured cabling systems.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this cable is suitable for PoE applications. The 26 AWG copper conductors can carry both data and power for PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The S/FTP shielding helps maintain signal integrity even when carrying power alongside data, which is particularly important for longer cable runs or higher-power PoE implementations.
What does the snagless boot design provide?
The snagless boot is a molded protective cover that extends beyond the RJ45 connector latch. This design prevents the latch from snagging on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation or removal. It protects the connector from physical damage and makes cable management easier in dense patch panels, reducing the risk of broken latches that can render cables unusable.
