FAQ

Q1: What is the advantage of S/FTP shielding?
A1: S/FTP combines individual pair shielding and overall braided shielding, providing superior protection against EMI, RFI, and alien crosstalk.

Q2: Why choose CAT6A instead of CAT6?
A2: CAT6A offers higher bandwidth (500MHz vs. 250MHz) and supports 10GBASE-T transmission up to 100 meters, making it more suitable for future network upgrades.

Q3: Does this cable support PoE and PoE++?
A3: Yes. The cable supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ applications.

Q4: Does the length of a network cable affect network speed?
A4: Cat5e supports a maximum length of 100 meters, while Cat6 supports 10Gbps over a maximum distance of 55 meters. Exceeding these standard lengths may lead to signal attenuation and a reduction in network speed.
