Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, the Microconnect CAT6a is fully compatible with PoE standards.

What does LSZH mean for the cable jacket?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, which means the cable produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire.

Can I use this cable for a standard 1Gbps home network?

Yes, this cable is backward compatible and will work perfectly with standard 1Gbps home network equipment.

Are the connectors shielded?

The cable uses a U/UTP shielding configuration, meaning it uses unshielded twisted pairs inside an unshielded outer jacket.

What is the benefit of the snagless boot?

The snagless boot protects the plastic locking tab from breaking off when the cable is pulled through tight spaces or caught on other equipment.

Troubleshooting

Network speed is slower than expected

Verify that all connected network devices, such as switches and network cards, support 10Gbit speeds. Ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp angle.

Intermittent connectivity

Check that the RJ45 connectors are fully seated in the port and that the latch has engaged properly. Clean the contacts with compressed air if dust is present.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 10Gbit data transfer capabilities
  • Durable snagless connector design
  • Reliable gold-plated contact points
  • Safety-compliant LSZH jacket material

Cons

  • Fixed 2m length may not suit all layout needs
  • U/UTP construction is less flexible than unshielded cables

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing this cable is straightforward as it utilizes standard RJ-45 male connectors. To install, align the connector with the port and push until you hear the audible click of the locking tab. Because the cable utilizes a U/UTP configuration, avoid bending it at extreme angles to maintain the integrity of the internal twists. When removing the cable, always press down on the snagless protective boot tab before pulling to avoid damaging the latch. For care, keep the connectors clean of dust and debris. If the cable is routed through walls or ceiling voids, ensure you adhere to local building codes regarding LSZH cable usage.
