Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards and is individually tested for guaranteed performance. It operates at a frequency range up to 500MHz, minimizing Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL) for enhanced signal reliability. The cable features four twisted pairs (eight conductors) with stranded construction for flexibility, allowing easy routing through tight spaces.
The 50-micron gold-plated connectors ensure a precise fit, while the strain relief boot adds durability. With a cable outer diameter of 5.7mm (0.22 inches) and a weight of approximately 0.70 oz (19.84 g), it is lightweight yet robust. The cable supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for reduced latency in time-sensitive applications.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat6a cable?
This Cat6a Ethernet patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit per second), making it suitable for high-speed network applications such as 10GBASE-T deployments. It operates at a frequency range of up to 500MHz, ensuring reliable performance with minimal signal loss and crosstalk.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet++ (PoE++) up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standards. It can deliver both data and power to connected devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power cables and simplifying installations.
What does S/FTP shielding mean, and why is it important?
S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair, which means each twisted pair of wires is individually foil-shielded, and an overall braided shield covers the entire cable. This design provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), reducing signal degradation and ensuring stable data transmission in electrically noisy environments.
What are the benefits of the LSZH jacket?
The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is flame-retardant and emits minimal toxic smoke if combusted, enhancing safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like server rooms and data centers. It also complies with environmental directives such as RoHS and WEEE, making it a safer choice for indoor installations.
