Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum speed this cable supports?

This Cat6a cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters. However, actual speeds depend on the capabilities of the connected devices and the network infrastructure.

What does 'LSOH' mean?

LSOH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means the cable jacket is made from materials that emit very little smoke and no toxic halogens when burned, making it a safer choice in enclosed spaces.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, this is an S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) cable. It features individual foil shielding around each twisted pair and an overall braided shield, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use only and is not rated for outdoor environmental conditions.

What is the difference between stranded and solid core cable?

Stranded cable (like this one) is made of multiple thin strands of copper, making it more flexible and durable for applications that involve moving or frequent handling. Solid core cable uses a single, thicker conductor, offering better performance over long distances and rigidity for permanent installations.

Does the red color signify anything?

The red color is for identification and organization purposes, often used to distinguish different types of cables or network segments within an installation.

What is PoE++ support?

PoE++ (also known as Type 3 or 4PPoE) is an advanced Power over Ethernet standard that allows the cable to deliver more power (up to 60-100W depending on the standard) to compatible devices, enabling them to run more power-hungry equipment like high-performance access points or cameras.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Check that the connected devices and ports are powered on. Try a different Ethernet cable and/or different ports to isolate the issue.

Slow network speeds or intermittent connection

Verify the cable is Cat6a rated and connected to Cat6a or higher ports on both ends for optimal performance. Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not excessively long for the required speed. Minimize exposure to strong electromagnetic interference sources. Clean the RJ45 connectors if they appear dirty.

PoE device not receiving power

Confirm that the connected network switch or injector supports the required PoE standard (PoE, PoE+, or PoE++). Ensure the device itself is PoE-compatible and the cable is not damaged, as damage can impede power delivery.

Connector tab broken or snagged

While the snagless boot protects the clip, avoid pulling the cable directly. If the clip is damaged, the connector may not stay securely in place. Replace the cable if the connector is compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed data transfer capabilities due to Cat6a standard.
  • Enhanced signal integrity and reduced EMI/RFI interference.
  • LSOH jacket material improves safety in case of fire.
  • Supports PoE++ for powering network devices.
  • Durable construction with snagless boots for longevity.

Cons

  • 15-meter length may be excessive or insufficient for some specific network layouts.
  • Not suitable for outdoor use.
  • Stranded conductors offer less rigidity than solid core cables, which might be a factor in some fixed installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the network device and the port you are connecting to are powered off before plugging in the cable.
  2. Connect one RJ45 connector to the network port on your device (e.g., computer, router, switch, game console).
  3. Connect the other RJ45 connector to the corresponding port on your network infrastructure (e.g., router, switch, wall jack).
  4. Power on your devices and verify network connectivity.

Compatibility:

  • Network Standards: Fully backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, and older Ethernet standards, though performance will be limited by the slowest component.
  • Devices: Compatible with any device featuring an RJ45 Ethernet port, including computers, servers, routers, switches, modems, game consoles, smart TVs, and VoIP phones.
  • PoE: Supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ standards for powering compatible network devices.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to prevent damage to the internal conductors.
  • Keep the cable away from excessive heat, moisture, and sharp objects.
  • Clean the connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty. Avoid using liquids.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
  • The snagless boots protect the connector clips; ensure they are not forced or pulled by the cable itself.
