User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this cable supports?
This CAT6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-T) with a frequency range up to 500 MHz. It's designed for high-speed network deployments and maintains reliable performance across its entire 50-foot length when used in compatible 10GbE network environments.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) for devices requiring up to 100W of power. It can deliver both data and power simultaneously to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE++ equipment, eliminating the need for separate power cables.
What does S/FTP shielding mean and why is it important?
S/FTP stands for Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair, which means each twisted pair is individually foil-shielded, and the overall cable has an additional braided shield. This construction provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable signal transmission in electrically noisy environments like data centers or industrial settings.
What are the advantages of the LSZH jacket?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket minimizes toxic fumes and smoke if the cable is exposed to fire. This makes it safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as data centers, riser applications, and plenum areas where traditional PVC jackets might pose greater safety risks.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network devices, switches, modules, PoE devices, PoE switches, access points, IP cameras, and NAS systems. It supports backward compatibility with CAT6, CAT5e, and CAT5 networks while providing optimal performance in CAT6a/10GBASE-T deployments.
Is this cable individually tested for performance?
Yes, each cable is individually tested and ETL verified to ensure it meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for CAT6a performance. This testing guarantees specifications such as low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), proper shielding effectiveness, and reliable 10 Gbps data transmission across the entire cable length.
