Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable operates at frequencies up to 500MHz, supporting 10GBASE-T networks with low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss for enhanced signal reliability. It complies with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards and is individually tested to guarantee Cat6a performance.
The cable's construction includes four twisted pairs (eight conductors) with aluminum mylar foil and a tinned copper braid shield for comprehensive EMI protection. The 27AWG stranded bare copper wire ensures optimal conductivity, and the snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection in crowded 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.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?
This Cat6a Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-T), making it suitable for high-speed network applications such as data centers, server connections, and backbone links. It operates at frequencies up to 500MHz to ensure reliable performance over its 25-foot length.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports PoE++ up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standards. It can deliver both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and switches, eliminating the need for separate power cables and simplifying installations.
What type of shielding does this cable have?
The cable features S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, which includes aluminum mylar foil and a tinned copper braid. This design provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable signal integrity and reducing crosstalk in high-density network environments.
Is the jacket safe for use in enclosed spaces?
Yes, the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is specifically designed for safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If combusted, it emits low levels of smoke and toxic fumes, making it a reliable choice for installations in data centers, offices, and industrial settings where fire safety is a concern.
What is the advantage of snagless connectors?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot that prevents the connector from catching on other cables or equipment in crowded patch panels. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnection or damage, ensuring more reliable and secure network connections in high-density setups.
Can this cable be used with older network standards?
Yes, this Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards. It supports lower data rates such as 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps, making it versatile for upgrading existing network infrastructure while providing headroom for future high-speed deployments.
