Product Information

Full details

This Intellinet Network Patch Cable is designed for professionals seeking high-speed, reliable network connections. It offers 10 Gigabit data transmission up to 100 meters, ideal for demanding environments like data centers and offices. A key benefit is its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which enhances safety in poorly ventilated areas. The primary caveat is that its advanced specifications may be overkill for basic home networking needs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of Cat6a over Cat6?

Cat6a doubles the frequency support from 250 MHz to 500 MHz, which allows for higher data transfer rates (10 Gbps) over longer distances (up to 100 meters) with improved performance compared to Cat6.

What does LSZH mean for the cable jacket?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means that in the event of a fire, the cable jacket emits very little smoke and no toxic or corrosive halogenated gases, making it safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.

Is this cable suitable for home use?

While fully compatible with home networks, the 10 Gigabit speed and Cat6a specifications are typically more beneficial for business, data center, or high-performance computing environments. For standard home internet and local network tasks, a Cat5e or Cat6 cable might suffice, but Cat6a offers future-proofing.

What does S/FTP shielding protect against?

S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair. It means each individual pair of wires is shielded with foil, and the entire bundle of pairs is also shielded with foil. This provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity.

How long is the warranty on this cable?

This Intellinet Network Patch Cable comes with a full Lifetime Warranty, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in its quality and durability.

Can I use this cable for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, this Cat6a cable supports PoE and PoE+ applications, making it suitable for powering devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras over the network.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the RJ-45 connectors on this cable feature gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring a reliable connection.

Troubleshooting

No network connection.

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Verify that the connected devices are powered on and configured for network access. Test with a different known-good cable to rule out a cable fault.

Slow network speeds.

Confirm that both connected devices support Cat6a or a compatible standard and are configured for high-speed operation. Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not excessively long for the required connection.

Intermittent connection drops.

Inspect the cable for kinks or damage. Ensure connectors are clean and fully seated. Minimize exposure to strong electromagnetic interference sources if possible. Test in a different location if environmental interference is suspected.

PoE device not receiving power.

Verify that both the cable and the connected network equipment (switch/injector) support PoE/PoE+ standards. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is a Cat6a or higher rated cable, as some PoE standards require higher performance categories.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the latest 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
  • Robust S/FTP shielding minimizes interference for stable connections.
  • LSZH jacket increases safety in sensitive environments.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors and snagless boots.
  • Suitable for demanding applications like data centers and PoE/PoE+.

Cons

  • Cat6a specifications may be excessive for standard home networks.
  • S/FTP shielding can make the cable slightly stiffer than unshielded cables.
  • The 30m length might be too long for short, simple connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (e.g., switch, router, server, workstation).
  2. Connect the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding network port on your destination device.
  3. Ensure both connectors click securely into place.

Compatibility:

  • This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards for network speed, but will perform at its maximum Cat6a capability when connected to Cat6a compliant ports and equipment.
  • Supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards.

Care:

  • Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors.
  • Keep connectors clean; use compressed air if dust accumulates.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • The LSZH jacket is durable, but avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
