Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable.

Can I use this for my home internet?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible with standard home routers, though it is specifically rated for high-performance 10Gbit speeds.

Does it support PoE?

Yes, the cable is engineered to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

What does LSZH mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, meaning the jacket is designed to emit minimal smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire.

How long is the cable?

This specific model, MC-UTP6A05S, is 5 meters in length.

Can I use this outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor professional installations and is not rated for outdoor or direct-burial use.

Troubleshooting

Slow network speeds

Ensure both ends are securely plugged in and verify that the connected equipment (switch/router) also supports 10Gbit standards.

Intermittent connection

Check the cable for any physical kinks or sharp bends. Replace if the internal wiring is pinched or damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high-speed 10Gbit networks
  • Durable snagless design prevents broken clips
  • High-quality gold-plated connectors for longevity
  • LSZH jacket meets strict safety standards
  • PoE compatibility supports network-powered devices

Cons

  • Fixed 5-meter length may be too long for small desk setups
  • U/UTP construction is slightly stiffer than lower-category cables
  • Black color only, limiting aesthetic options for color-coding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the desired network port until you hear a click. The snagless boot protects the latch during routing, but ensure you do not exceed the recommended bend radius to avoid damaging the internal copper pairs.

This cable is fully compatible with standard RJ45 ports and is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e infrastructure. For care, store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use and avoid running the cable through areas where it may be crushed by furniture or walked upon, as this can affect the high-frequency performance of the CAT6a standard.
