Product Information

Full details

The Cablenet 10m Cat6a S/FTP Patch Lead is designed for network administrators and home office users who require high-performance, interference-free connectivity for demanding data environments. This cable provides superior signal integrity and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications, making it ideal for connecting high-bandwidth devices like wireless access points and VoIP phones. One caveat is that the 10m length is intended for indoor use only and should not be deployed in outdoor environments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this cable outdoors?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use only. The LSOH jacket is not rated for UV exposure or moisture protection.

Is this cable compatible with PoE++?

Yes, it is designed to support 4PPoE (PoE++), allowing for high-power delivery to compatible devices.

What is the benefit of S/FTP shielding?

S/FTP provides both individual pair shielding and an overall braid, offering superior protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference.

What does LSOH mean?

LSOH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, meaning the cable jacket emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire.

Can I use this for a 1Gbps network?

Yes, while the cable is certified for Cat6a performance (up to 10Gbps), it is fully backward compatible with 1Gbps and 100Mbps networks.

Troubleshooting

Network speed is lower than expected

Verify that all equipment on the link (switches/NICs) supports Cat6a/10Gbps standards and ensure the cable is not kinked or tightly bundled with power cables.

Device is not receiving Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Ensure your switch or midspan injector is set to output the correct PoE++ (802.3bt) standard and that both ends of the cable are seated firmly in the RJ45 ports.

Intermittent connection drops

Check for debris in the RJ45 port and ensure the locking tab on the snagless boot is not obstructed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent electromagnetic interference protection due to S/FTP shielding
  • Snagless boot design prevents connector damage
  • Supports high-power PoE++ applications
  • LSOH jacket complies with modern building safety standards
  • High-quality gold-plated contacts ensure long-term connectivity

Cons

  • Not suitable for outdoor use
  • 10-meter length requires proper cable management to avoid clutter
  • Thicker shielding and jacket design make it less flexible than unshielded cables

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Installation: Ensure the cable is routed away from high-voltage electrical lines to maintain optimal signal performance. When running the cable through conduit or bundles, avoid sharp bends that could compromise the internal structure.
  • Compatibility: The standard RJ45 connectors are fully compatible with all standard Cat6a ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards. It is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure, though Category 6a is recommended for maximum performance.
  • Care: To maintain the longevity of your cable, do not pull or stretch it beyond its intended reach. Keep the cable in an indoor, climate-controlled environment, as the LSOH jacket is not designed to withstand UV rays or extreme weather conditions. Clean with a dry cloth only if dust accumulates near the connection points.
