This Cables Direct ART-100-H/O networking cable is ideal for users needing reliable, high-speed data transfer in demanding environments. Its key benefit is robust protection against interference and a durable, snagless design for secure connections. A potential caveat is its short 0.25m length, which limits its use to close-proximity connections. This Cat6a S/FTP cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, features LSZH construction for safety, and offers enhanced protection with individual pair shielding and snagless connectors.

This Cat6a cable supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T).
S/FTP stands for Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair. It means each individual pair of wires within the cable is shielded with foil, and the entire cable bundle is also shielded, offering superior protection against interference.
Yes, the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) construction makes it suitable for use in plenum spaces or air ducts where fire safety regulations require low-smoke and non-toxic materials.
Yes, Cat6a cables are backward compatible and will work with Cat5e, Cat6, and older network devices, although the speed will be limited by the slowest component in the connection.
Snagless refers to the design of the RJ45 connector housing that protects the locking tab (clip). This prevents the tab from catching on obstructions during installation or removal, reducing the risk of breakage.
The flush moulded strain relief allows cables to be installed tightly side-by-side in high-density network switches without deforming or damaging the cable or connector. It also provides flexibility for cable movement.
Cat6a is designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, whereas Cat6 typically supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet only up to 55 meters. Cat6a also offers higher performance at higher frequencies (500 MHz vs 250 MHz for Cat6).
Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their respective ports. Check if the cable is damaged. Test with a known working cable. Verify network settings on your devices.
Confirm that all connected devices support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Ensure the cable is not being used beyond its specified length limitations (though 0.25m is well within limits). Check for potential EMI sources nearby that might be affecting the shielded cable.
Handle cables carefully, using the snagless connectors' protective bubble to avoid breaking the clip. If a clip is broken, the cable may still function but will not latch securely into the port, risking accidental disconnection. Replace damaged cables.
Setup: Simply plug one RJ45 connector into your network device (e.g., router, switch, computer) and the other into your network port. Ensure a firm click to confirm the connection is secure.
Compatibility: This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards. It supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T.
