Product Information

Full details

The Connektgear CAT6a Network Cable is an ideal high-performance solution for users needing reliable 10Gbps connectivity for computers, printers, and smart TVs in both home and professional environments. Featuring advanced metallic shielding and a durable LSZH jacket, this cable ensures signal integrity by resisting electromagnetic interference. Please note that while the 7m length provides excellent reach, users should manage the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends that could compromise its shielding over time.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable compatible with older Gigabit devices?

Yes, CAT6a is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e devices, so it will work perfectly with standard 1Gbps equipment.

What is the benefit of an LSZH jacket?

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jackets are designed to emit minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases in the event of a fire, making them safer for indoor installations.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use. It is not rated for UV or weather resistance, so using it outdoors may degrade the jacket material over time.

What does S/FTP shielding mean?

S/FTP stands for Screened Fully Shielded Twisted Pair. It means each pair of wires is shielded with foil, and there is an overall braid to protect against external interference.

Is the cable shielded at the connector?

Yes, the Connektgear CAT6a cable features shielded connectors to ensure the protection against interference remains consistent throughout the entire link.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Ensure the RJ45 connector is fully inserted and the latch has clicked into place. Test the cable on a different port to rule out hardware failure.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that your connected devices (switches, routers, network cards) are all CAT6a compatible and capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Intermittent signal drops

Check the cable for physical damage, such as deep cuts or sharp kinks. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to heavy electrical power cables for long distances.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports fast 10 Gigabit speeds
  • Excellent interference protection with S/FTP shielding
  • Slim, snagless profile is great for tight port layouts
  • LSZH jacket enhances safety
  • Plug and play installation

Cons

  • Less flexible than unshielded cables due to robust shielding
  • 7m length may be too long for simple desktop setups
  • Requires proper cable routing to maintain shielding performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the cable is straightforward thanks to its plug-and-play design. Simply align the RJ45 connector with your device port and push until you hear a click. The snagless boot is designed to deflect obstacles, allowing you to pull the cable through tight spaces easily.

For care, avoid pulling on the cable cord itself when disconnecting; always grip the moulded boot. To ensure the 500 MHz frequency remains stable, avoid kinking, pinching, or bending the cable at sharp 90-degree angles. If you are routing the cable through walls or conduits, ensure it is not pulled under high tension, as this can stretch the internal 26AWG conductors.
