Product Information

Full details

The Connektgear CAT6a network cable is ideal for home users and professionals looking to establish high-speed, 10Gbps connections between computers, smart TVs, routers, and switches. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of advanced metallic shielding that minimizes electromagnetic interference to maintain data integrity, though its 15-meter length may be excessive for smaller, clutter-free desktop setups.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, CAT6a cables generally support PoE applications, though performance depends on the specific power requirements of your devices.

Can I use this for outdoor installations?

This cable is designed for standard networking environments. It is not rated for burial or long-term outdoor UV exposure.

Is this cable backward compatible?

Yes, this CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e network hardware.

What is the shielding type?

This cable features S/FTP (S-STP) shielding, which provides individual pair screening and an overall outer braid for maximum interference protection.

Are the connectors shielded?

Yes, the construction includes metallic shielding to maintain signal integrity throughout the entire path.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Check both ends for a secure click and ensure your network interface card (NIC) or router port is active.

Slow data transfer speeds

Ensure both connected devices support CAT6a or higher standards and verify that no other cables are causing physical interference.

Physical connector damage

Ensure the snagless boot is not being pulled at an extreme angle which places pressure on the locking tab.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports rapid 10Gbps data speeds
  • Superior protection against electromagnetic interference
  • Durable snagless connector design
  • Gold-plated contacts for enhanced connection stability
  • Compact housing for high-density networking hardware

Cons

  • Fixed length of 15m might be long for some desktop setups
  • Grey color only
  • Requires careful routing to avoid sharp bends

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward as this cable uses standard RJ-45 male connectors compatible with any device featuring an Ethernet port. To achieve the best performance:

  1. Ensure the connector is fully inserted until you hear an audible click.
  2. Avoid coiling the cable too tightly; while durable, sharp bends can eventually fatigue the internal wiring.
  3. Keep away from extreme heat sources to preserve the integrity of the shielding material.
  4. When cleaning, use a dry, soft cloth; do not submerge the connectors in liquid as this may cause corrosion on the gold plating.
