FAQs
What does Cat6A mean?
Cat6A (Category 6A) is an ethernet cable standard that supports data transmission speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second over distances of up to 100 metres. It offers better performance and less crosstalk than Cat6 cables.
What are snagless connectors?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot around the RJ45 plug that prevents the latch from catching on nearby cables or objects. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnection during cable management and reconfiguration.
Is this cable suitable for Gigabit networks?
Yes. Cat6A cables support Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and beyond, making them suitable for modern office and data centre networks.
Why choose a 0.5m cable?
A 0.5m (50cm) patch cord is ideal for short distances within server racks, network cabinets, and patch panels, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow in confined spaces.
What is UTP construction?
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) uses twisted copper pairs without additional shielding. It is suitable for most office and commercial network environments and is more cost-effective than shielded alternatives.
Is this cable compatible with standard network ports?
Yes. The RJ45 connector is the standard interface for ethernet devices including switches, routers, servers, network cards, and most modern networking equipment.
