CAT6A cable

Why Choose CAT6A Cable for Your Networking Needs?

StarTech.com 50ft Purple CAT6a Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 10G, 100W PoE, S/FTP, LSZH, 27AWG Pure Copper, 500MHz, Shielded Network Cord

Set up a reliable 10 Gbps connection to a switch or networking device, using this Shielded Snagless S/FTP Category 6a Ethernet Cable.

Pure Bare Copper Wire

Our Snagless Cat6a Cables are designed for long-lasting performance. The 4-Pair Shielded and Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) construction utilizes 27AWG pure bare copper wire for improved conductivity and low resistance, ensuring reliable transmission and minimal signal loss.

Pure bare copper wiring offers consistent performance characteristics across different environments. Each pair is shielded in aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid for enhanced EMI protection.

Durable Construction

The Cat6a Ethernet Cable features snagless 50-micro gold-plated connectors that enable a precise fit to minimize wear and signal loss. The flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket emits low smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of a fire. This enables safer installations in poorly-ventilated areas including some industrial settings, self-contained environments such as trains and aircraft, as well as residential settings where compliance with building codes must be considered.

Reliable and Versatile

The Shielded Cat6a Patch Cord is ideal for 10GBASE-T networks and supports up to 100W output to Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices. Establish connectivity to 10G switches, Network Attached Storage (NAS), and SFP modules. It facilitates reliable throughput and power to low-latency and critical PoE devices, including PoE switches, access points, and IP cameras.

Backward compatibility with Cat 6 and Cat 5/5e standards ensure seamless integration into existing network environments. Our Snagless Cat6a cables are Fluke Tested and ETL Verified for guaranteed Cat6a performance.

Superior Speed and Performance

The CAT6A cable stands out because it supports speeds up to 10 Gbps. Therefore, it offers a significant upgrade over previous versions such as CAT5e. This high-speed performance is crucial for activities like online gaming, streaming HD videos, and large data transfers. Because of this, you can enjoy a seamless internet experience with fewer disruptions.

Enhanced Shielding for Reduced Interference

Another important feature of the CAT6A cable is its advanced shielding that minimizes electromagnetic interference. This means that during high data transmission, you're less likely to experience interruptions from nearby electronic devices. While traditional cables may struggle in environments with multiple devices, the CAT6A ensures a stable and reliable connection, making it ideal for both home and office settings.

Future-Proofing Your Network Setup

Investing in a CAT6A cable is also a smart choice if you plan to upgrade your network in the future. As technology evolves and more devices become connected, having a cable that can handle increased demands will save you time and money. So, whether you're setting up a new home network or upgrading your current system, the CAT6A cable is a long-term solution that meets growing technological needs.
