Each unit is individually tested and ETL verified to guarantee CAT6a performance, with features like strain relief and braided shielding for long-term reliability.
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 high-speed networking with robust construction for demanding environments. The S/FTP shielding and 50-micron gold-plated connectors provide excellent EMI protection and corrosion resistance, ensuring stable connections in electrically noisy settings.
Enhanced Safety
The LSZH jacket emits low toxic fumes if combusted, making it ideal for poorly ventilated or enclosed spaces like data centers and riser applications.
- RoHS and WEEE compliant
- Low smoke emission
- Halogen-free
PoE++ Ready
Supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ for high-power devices, eliminating the need for separate power cables in deployments like IP cameras and wireless access points.
- Up to 100W power delivery
- Backward compatible with PoE/PoE+
- Reduced cable clutter
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is designed for 10GBASE-T network deployments, connecting switches, routers, NAS devices, and other network equipment. Its 5-foot length makes it ideal for rack-to-rack or within-rack patching in data centers, server rooms, and office networking cabinets.
The PoE++ capability allows direct power to devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, simplifying installations and reducing infrastructure costs. The flexible LSZH jacket and snagless boots facilitate routing through tight spaces and cable management systems.
Enterprise Networking
Connect switches, servers, and storage devices in high-speed 10G environments where reliable throughput and minimal crosstalk are critical.
PoE Deployments
Power and connect PoE++ devices like security cameras, access points, and IoT sensors with a single cable, streamlining installation and maintenance.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6a cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-T) across distances up to 100 meters. It operates at a 500MHz frequency, ensuring reliable high-speed connectivity for modern network switches, servers, and storage devices.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it fully supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) for up to 100W power delivery. This makes it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without separate power cables, simplifying installations.
What does S/FTP shielding provide?
S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding combines individual foil shielding around each twisted pair with an overall braided shield. This design minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring stable signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Why is the LSZH jacket important?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket emits minimal toxic fumes and smoke if combusted, enhancing safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like data centers and riser applications. It also meets RoHS and WEEE environmental compliance standards.
What devices are compatible with this cable?
It is compatible with network devices, switches, NAS systems, PoE devices, access points, and IP cameras. The cable is backward compatible with CAT5e, CAT6, and earlier standards, making it versatile for upgrading existing infrastructure.
How does the snagless boot design help?
The snagless boots prevent the connector boot from catching on ports, patch panels, or other cables during installation and removal. This reduces wear on connectors and simplifies cable management in dense networking environments.
