Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for high-speed networks, this CAT6a cable operates at frequencies up to 500MHz, minimizing near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss for superior signal reliability. The S/FTP shielding combines aluminum mylar foil with a tinned copper braid to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable performance in electrically noisy environments.
The cable supports 10GBASE-T deployments and is backward compatible with CAT6, CAT5e, and CAT5 standards. Its 4-pair, 8-conductor stranded construction provides flexibility for routing through tight spaces, while the snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection in dense patch panels.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines advanced shielding, safety features, and PoE++ support to meet the needs of modern network infrastructure. The LSZH jacket emits low toxic fumes if combusted, making it suitable for poorly ventilated areas like data centers and industrial settings.
Enhanced EMI Protection
The S/FTP shielding with aluminum mylar foil and tinned copper braid significantly reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring clean signal transmission in high-density installations.
- Reduces crosstalk
- Improves signal integrity
- Suitable for noisy environments
High-Power PoE Support
Supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) for delivering up to 100W of power, enabling connectivity to power-hungry devices like IP cameras, access points, and switches without separate power cables.
- Up to 100W power delivery
- IEEE 802.3bt compliant
- Simplifies installations
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for 10 GbE network deployments where space is limited and reliability is critical. Its short length and flexible design make it perfect for connecting devices in rack-mounted setups, network switches, and PoE-enabled equipment.
Common applications include linking switches to servers, connecting IP cameras and access points in security systems, and interfacing with NAS devices or network modules. The LSZH jacket and shielding also make it suitable for industrial environments, broadcast studios, and any setting where EMI resistance and fire safety are priorities.
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable green LSZH jacket that is both flexible and flame-retardant. With a slim 5.7mm outer diameter and lightweight construction, it easily routes through cable management systems without adding bulk. The snagless boots on each RJ45 connector prevent catching on adjacent ports, simplifying installation and maintenance in crowded patch panels.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this cable?
This CAT6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T), making it suitable for high-speed network deployments. It operates at frequencies up to 500MHz, ensuring reliable performance for 10GbE applications while maintaining backward compatibility with older CAT6, CAT5e, and CAT5 standards.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), delivering up to 100W of power. This allows you to connect and power devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and switches without separate power adapters, simplifying installations and reducing cable clutter.
What does S/FTP shielding mean, and why is it important?
S/FTP stands for Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair. This cable uses aluminum mylar foil around each twisted pair and an overall tinned copper braid shield. This dual-layer shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI), reducing crosstalk and signal degradation in electrically noisy environments like data centers or industrial settings.
What are the benefits of the LSZH jacket?
The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket emits minimal toxic fumes and smoke if exposed to fire, enhancing safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as server rooms, aircraft, or submarines. It is also flame-retardant and flexible, making it easier to route through tight spaces while meeting strict environmental and safety standards.
Is this cable tested for performance compliance?
Yes, each cable is individually tested to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for CAT6a performance. This includes verification of parameters like near-end crosstalk (NEXT), return loss, and shielding effectiveness, ensuring reliable operation in 10 Gbps networks and compliance with industry benchmarks.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
It is compatible with a wide range of network devices, including switches, routers, PoE devices, NAS systems, network modules, IP cameras, and access points. The RJ45 male connectors work with standard Ethernet ports, and its 1-foot length is ideal for short connections in rack-mounted equipment or patch panels.
