Kenable Ethernet Cable - Cat6a - 5M White

This Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps).

Yes, Cat6a cables are backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5E devices. However, the connection speed will be limited by the slowest component in the network.

S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair. It means each individual twisted pair of wires is shielded with foil, and the entire cable bundle is also shielded (overall foil or braid). This provides maximum protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.

The cable is very thin, measuring approximately 2.2mm in height and 7.2mm in width, making it ideal for discreet installations.

Yes, the low-profile flat design is specifically suited for running under carpets or along baseboards without creating a noticeable bulge.

The cable uses 32AWG (American Wire Gauge) pure copper stranded conductors.

No, this is a Plug and Play cable. It uses standard RJ-45 connectors and requires no special installation tools beyond basic cable management if desired.

Ensure both RJ-45 connectors are fully seated and have clicked into place. Verify that the cable is not damaged (e.g., kinks, cuts). Test with a different known-good cable to rule out device issues. Check that the network device and port support the expected speeds (e.g., 10Gbps).

Inspect the cable for any signs of damage. Ensure the cable is not routed near strong sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power cables, microwaves). Try using a different port on your router or switch. Confirm the cable's shielding is intact.

While low-profile, ensure the space is still adequate for the 2.2mm thickness and 7.2mm width. If routing under carpets, ensure there are no obstructions or sharp objects underneath. For very tight spaces, consider alternative routing paths.
