Cables Direct Networking Cable - CAT6a

Cat6a cables are designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters and operate at a higher frequency (600MHz) compared to Cat6 (250MHz), offering significantly better performance for high-bandwidth applications and future-proofing.

Yes, this is an S/FTP (Screened and Foil Twisted Pair) cable. Each individual twisted pair is shielded with foil, and there is an overall screen for the cable, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic interference.

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means the cable jacket is made from materials that emit very little smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces.

Yes, the cable is backward compatible. However, it will only operate at the speed supported by your Cat5e equipment, typically 1 Gigabit Ethernet.

This specific product (ART-101) is 1 meter in length.

Yes, the RJ45 connectors feature a snagless design with a protective 'bubble' that shields the locking clip, preventing it from breaking off during installation or handling.

This Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet).

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into their respective ports. Check that the cable is not physically damaged. Try a different port on your network device. If the issue persists, test with a known working cable.

Verify that both connected devices and network infrastructure (router, switch) support 10 Gigabit Ethernet or at least Gigabit Ethernet. Ensure the cable is a Cat6a or higher standard. Check for any physical damage or kinks in the cable.

The snagless design aims to prevent this, but if the clip is damaged, the cable may not stay securely connected. Replace the cable.
