This Cables Direct S/FTP CAT6A 1.5m networking cable is designed for users needing high-speed, reliable network connections, especially for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Its key benefit is robust shielding against interference, ensuring stable data transfer. A minor caveat is its specific length, which may require extension for longer runs. This pink Cat6A cable supports up to 600MHz and 10Gbps, featuring S/FTP construction for superior protection and snagless connectors for ease of use.

S/FTP shielding provides superior protection against Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and Alien Crosstalk (AXT) compared to unshielded or UTP cables, leading to more stable and reliable data transmission.
Yes, it fully supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with older standards like Cat5e and Cat6.
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It means the cable jacket is made from materials that emit very little smoke and no toxic halogenated gases when burned, making it a safer choice for indoor installations.
This cable is 1.5 meters long. For longer distances, you would need a longer cable or a network extender. Cat6A standards generally support up to 100 meters for 10Gbps, but this specific cable is only 1.5m.
Snagless connectors have a small protective 'bubble' or boot that covers the RJ45 tab. This prevents the tab from snagging on other cables or obstructions when plugging or unplugging, and also protects the tab from breaking.
This Cat6A cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10,000 Mbit/s, which is equivalent to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE).
This Cat6A cable is rated for a frequency of up to 600 MHz.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Verify that the connected devices and network infrastructure are functioning. Test with a different known-good cable to rule out cable failure.
Confirm that both the connected devices and your network equipment support Cat6A and 10Gbps speeds. Check for potential bottlenecks elsewhere in the network. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is fully seated in the ports.
Inspect the cable for visible damage. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Try connecting to a different port on your switch or router. Check if the locking clip on the RJ45 connector is intact.
This is normal for S/FTP and LSZH cables. Avoid forcing the cable into tight bends, which can damage the internal conductors and shielding. Route the cable carefully, following its natural bend radius.
Setup: Simply plug one RJ45 connector into your network device (e.g., computer, router, switch) and the other into your network port. Ensure a firm click to confirm the connection is secure. The snagless boot design protects the clip, but care should still be taken when disconnecting to avoid excessive force.
Compatibility: This Cat6A cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 ports. It works seamlessly with devices supporting 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10GBASE-T standards. It is also backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 networks, though speeds will be limited by the slowest component in the chain.
