Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Cat6A network patch cable is designed for users requiring high-speed, reliable data transfer in demanding environments. Its key benefit is delivering 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with robust shielding and safety features. A potential caveat is its short 0.25m length, making it suitable for close-proximity connections only. This cable offers superior data integrity through its Shielded Twisted Pair construction and low smoke zero halogen jacket, ensuring safety and performance for critical network setups.

FAQs

What is the maximum speed this cable supports?

This Cat6A cable supports speeds of up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T).

What does 'LSZH' mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It means the cable jacket emits minimal toxic and corrosive smoke when exposed to fire, improving safety.

What is S/FTP shielding?

S/FTP means Screened/Shielded Twisted Pair. Each pair of wires is shielded, and the entire cable bundle is also shielded, providing robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Is this cable compatible with older network standards?

Yes, it is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 Ethernet standards, though it will operate at the maximum speed supported by those standards.

Why is the cable only 0.25m long?

The 0.25m length is optimized for short, direct connections, such as between devices within the same rack or for connecting close-proximity equipment, minimizing cable clutter.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use. It does not have the UV resistance or weatherproofing required for outdoor applications.

What does 'snagless' mean for the connector?

Snagless connectors have a protective tab cover that prevents the locking clip from breaking off when the cable is pulled through tight spaces or removed, while still allowing for easy disconnection.

Troubleshooting

No network connection

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Verify that the connected devices are powered on and configured for network use. Test with a known working cable.

Slow network speeds

Confirm that both connected devices support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Check if the cable is damaged or kinked. Ensure the cable is fully seated in the port.

Intermittent connection drops

Check for excessive EMI near the cable. Ensure the cable is not bent sharply or under tension. Inspect connectors for damage or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet for demanding applications.
  • Robust S/FTP shielding protects against interference.
  • LSZH jacket offers increased safety in fire situations.
  • Compact 0.25m length is ideal for short, neat connections.
  • Snagless connectors and flush strain relief simplify installation.

Cons

  • Short 0.25m length limits its use to very close connections.
  • Shielded cables can be stiffer than unshielded alternatives.
  • Requires compatible Cat6A ports for maximum speed benefits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices. Ensure a firm click to confirm the connection. The snagless design with flush strain relief aids installation in tight spaces.

Compatibility: This cable is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 networks. For optimal performance, connect it between devices that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T). It will function at lower speeds if connected to older standard ports.

Care: Keep connectors clean and free from dust. Avoid sharp bends or crushing the cable. Store in a dry environment when not in use. The LSZH jacket is durable but should be protected from excessive abrasion.
