FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this cable?
This CAT6A cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, which is suitable for high-bandwidth applications like 10GBASE-T Ethernet. It maintains this speed over distances up to 100 meters, making it ideal for demanding network environments such as data centers or office networks with heavy data traffic.
How long is the cable, and is it suitable for long-distance runs?
The cable is 50 feet (15.24 meters) long, providing ample reach for connecting devices across rooms or between floors. CAT6A cables like this one are rated for distances up to 100 meters at full speed, so this 50-foot length is well within that limit, ensuring reliable performance without signal degradation.
Does this cable have shielding, and why is that important?
Yes, this cable is shielded, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk from nearby cables or electronic devices. Shielding is crucial in dense network installations to maintain signal integrity and prevent data errors, especially in environments with high electrical noise or when running cables near power lines.
What type of connectors does this cable use, and are they durable?
It uses RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, with gold-plated contacts to ensure good conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The snagless boot design protects the connector latch from snagging or breaking during installation, enhancing durability in frequently reconfigured network setups.
Is this cable TAA compliant, and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets the requirements for procurement by U.S. government agencies and institutions that must adhere to trade agreements. It is manufactured in the United States, ensuring it qualifies for use in federal and state contracts where domestic sourcing is required.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this CAT6A cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, such as connecting IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones. The 28 AWG stranded conductors and shielding help maintain power delivery and data integrity over the 50-foot length, making it suitable for both data and power transmission in network deployments.
