User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Ethernet cable?
This CAT6a Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GbE). It's designed to handle high-speed network traffic for applications requiring maximum bandwidth, including data center connections, server links, and high-performance workstation networks.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL-rated wiring are compliant with IEEE 802.3bt standards, making it suitable for powering PoE++ devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points without separate power cables.
What does 'shielded' mean for this Ethernet cable?
Shielded refers to the cable's construction that includes protective layers to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding reduces Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and protects signal integrity, making the cable suitable for environments with multiple cables or electrical noise sources.
What is the advantage of snagless connectors?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot that prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables, conduits, or rack components during installation or removal. This design reduces accidental disconnections and cable damage, saving time during network maintenance and preventing downtime from loose connections.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices including switches, routers, hubs, patch panels, print servers, docking stations, desktop computers, notebooks, and PoE-enabled devices like VoIP phones and security systems. It supports both data and power transmission for compatible equipment.
What certifications does this cable have?
This cable complies with ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 Category 6 requirements and is ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards. It also meets EU RoHS environmental standards and carries a lifetime warranty from StarTech.com for long-term reliability assurance.
