Product Information

Full details

The Cablenet Cat6A Ethernet cable is designed for IT professionals and home network enthusiasts who require high-performance, 10 Gigabit connectivity in demanding environments. It provides superior data speeds of up to 10Gbits/s and 600MHz bandwidth, making it ideal for high-density setups; however, its robust S/FTP shielding makes the cable slightly stiffer and less flexible than unshielded alternatives, which may affect routing in extremely tight spaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this cable outdoors?

No, this cable is designed exclusively for indoor use and is not weather-rated for outdoor deployment.

Is this cable compatible with my standard home router?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards and works with all standard RJ-45 ethernet ports.

What is LSZH and why is it important?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It is a material that emits less smoke and toxic fumes in the event of fire, making it safer for enclosed environments.

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet?

Yes, it supports PoE++ (4PPoE), allowing you to power cameras and access points through the network connection.

Is the shielding effective against interference?

Yes, the S/FTP (Screened and Foil Twisted Pair) design provides excellent protection against external Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI).

Troubleshooting

Network speed is capped at 1Gbps instead of 10Gbps

Ensure both connected devices, the switch/router, and the network card all explicitly support 10GBASE-T standards.

Intermittent connectivity or dropped packets

Verify that the cable has not been bent past its minimum bend radius and ensure the RJ-45 connector is fully seated in the port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High data throughput suitable for 10GbE networking
  • Excellent interference protection via S/FTP shielding
  • Durable snagless connector design prevents clip damage
  • LSZH jacket meets stringent fire safety requirements
  • Supports high-power PoE++ applications

Cons

  • Slightly stiffer cable diameter due to shielding
  • Not intended for outdoor or harsh direct sunlight exposure
  • Larger bend radius requirements compared to unshielded Cat6

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, avoid over-bending the cable; the S/FTP internal shielding requires a wider bend radius to maintain structural integrity. This cable is strictly for indoor use and should not be routed in outdoor conduits or exposed to direct sunlight.

Installation steps:

  1. Ensure your network hardware supports Cat6A or is backward compatible with the RJ-45 interface.
  2. When routing, keep the cable away from sharp edges that could compromise the jacket.
  3. Align the snagless connector with the RJ-45 port and push until you hear a secure click.
  4. For maintenance, keep the connectors clean of dust and debris. If the jacket becomes soiled, wipe it gently with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.
