This 1-meter blue Cables Direct CAT6a Ethernet cable is designed for users needing reliable, high-speed network connectivity, especially for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its S/FTP shielding offers robust protection against interference, ensuring stable data transfer. A key benefit is its compatibility with older Ethernet standards, providing flexibility. However, users should note that its primary strength lies in its 10GbE capabilities, and it may be overkill for basic home networking needs.

This Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps).
Yes, this is an S/FTP cable, meaning each twisted pair is shielded with foil, and there is an overall braid shield for maximum protection against interference.
Yes, Cat6a cables are backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat5 standards. However, your network speed will be limited by the slowest component (e.g., your Cat5e switch).
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It means the cable's outer jacket is made from materials that produce very little smoke and no toxic halogens when burned, making it safer for use in enclosed spaces.
The snagless design features a protective cover over the RJ45 connector's locking tab. This prevents the tab from getting caught and breaking off when the cable is pulled through tight spaces or during frequent connections/disconnections.
The flush moulded strain relief allows cables to be installed more densely in network switches and prevents the cable from being pulled out or damaged when plugged in, as it provides a secure, low-profile connection.
This cable complies with ISO/IEC 11801 ED.2, ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, and IEC 60332-1-2, and is RoHS compliant.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Check that the network adapter and port lights are active. Try a different port or cable if possible.
Verify that connected devices support Cat6a or higher for optimal speeds. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is properly seated. Check for EMI sources nearby. Test with a different, known-good Cat6a cable.
Inspect the cable for physical damage, particularly around the connectors. Ensure the snagless locking clips are not obstructed and are engaging properly. Minimize cable stress at connection points.
The snagless design aims to prevent this, but if a clip breaks, the connection may become unreliable. Replace the cable.
Setup: Simply plug one RJ45 connector into your network device (e.g., computer, router, switch) and the other into your network port. Ensure a secure click as the connectors engage.
Compatibility: This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards and equipment. It works with all standard RJ45-equipped devices. For 10 Gbps speeds, both connected devices and network infrastructure must support Cat6a or higher standards.
