User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this CAT6a cable?
This StarTech.com CAT6a Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GbE) at distances up to 100 meters. It maintains this high-speed performance across its full 35-foot length while supporting backward compatibility with lower-speed standards including 1GbE, 100MbE, and 10MbE networks.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet applications up to 100W. It features 26 AWG stranded copper conductors with UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) that complies with IEEE 802.3bt standards for PoE++. This makes it suitable for powering high-demand PoE devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without separate power cables.
What are the benefits of the shielded (STP) construction?
The shielded twisted pair construction provides comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and ensures consistent signal integrity, particularly important in environments with electrical noise or when cables run near power sources. The protection maintains 10GbE performance even in challenging installation conditions.
