Product Information

Full details

This kenable 1-meter Cat6A SSTP network cable is designed for users in environments with high electro-magnetic interference (EMI), such as factories, data centers, or hospitals, seeking a reliable and high-speed connection. Its key benefit is superior noise resistance and data integrity thanks to its shielded construction. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which may be overkill for standard home or office networks where less robust cabling might suffice.

FAQs

What does 'SSTP' mean?

SSTP stands for Screened Shielded Twisted Pair. It indicates that each individual pair of wires within the cable is shielded, and there is also an overall shield for the entire bundle of wires, providing enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk.

Is this cable suitable for a home network?

While this Cat6A SSTP cable will work in a home network, its advanced shielding and 10 Gbps capability are often beyond typical home requirements. For most home users, a standard Cat6 or Cat5e cable might be sufficient and more cost-effective. However, if you have specific needs for high interference resistance or future-proofing for very high speeds, it can be used.

What is the advantage of the snagless boot design?

The snagless boot has a design with wings that protects the RJ45 connector's release clip from snagging on other cables or objects when you plug or unplug it. This prevents the clip from breaking off, ensuring the connector remains secure.

What is LSZH and why is it important?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. Cables with this jacket emit significantly less smoke and no toxic halogenated gases when exposed to fire, making them safer for use in enclosed public spaces like schools, hospitals, and government buildings where fire safety regulations are stringent.

Can I use this 1-meter cable to connect devices further apart?

No, the cable is 1 meter in length. For longer distances, you would need to purchase a longer cable of the same specification.

What is the data transfer rate of this cable?

This Cat6A cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10,000 Megabits per second (10 Gbps).

Does the cable contain copper?

Yes, it features 26AWG full copper conductors, which are essential for optimal performance and signal integrity.

Troubleshooting

No network connection

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Check that the connected devices (router, computer, etc.) are powered on and functioning. Try a different network cable to rule out a cable defect.

Slow network speeds

Verify that the connected devices support the expected speeds (e.g., 10 Gbps). Ensure the cable is not damaged and that the connectors are clean. Check if other network traffic is saturating the connection. For optimal performance, ensure both ends use Cat6A rated ports and hardware.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the cable for any physical damage, such as cuts or kinks. Ensure the connectors are fully seated and the clips are intact. Minimize the number of bends and avoid routing the cable near sources of strong electromagnetic interference if possible.

Connector clip broken

The snagless design protects the clip, but if damage occurs, the cable may not stay securely connected. While the cable might still function if seated properly, replacement is recommended for a stable connection. Use the wing design on the boot to carefully release the connector next time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent interference suppression in noisy environments.
  • High-speed data transfer capabilities up to 10 Gbps.
  • Durable construction with snagless boots and strain relief.
  • Safe for use in public buildings due to LSZH jacket.
  • Reliable signal integrity with full copper conductors.

Cons

  • Potentially more expensive than unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cables.
  • The robust shielding may make the cable slightly stiffer than standard patch cords.
  • Overkill for basic home networking needs.
  • Specific LSZH requirements may not be necessary for all environments.
  • 1-meter length limits placement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a plug-and-play device. Simply connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., computer, router, switch) and the other RJ45 connector to its network port. Ensure the connectors click securely into place.

Compatibility: This Cat6A cable is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards, and supports various Ethernet standards including 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps (10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T, 10GBase-T). It is compatible with any standard RJ45 networking port.

Care:

  • Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep the connectors clean. Dust or debris can be removed with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Protect the cable from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
  • Use the snagless boots to avoid damaging the RJ45 clips during handling.
