Advantages of Cat.6A

Increased bandwidth:

Cat6a supports bandwidth that is twice the amount of cat6. Longer cables with faster speed provides more flexibility and better performance.

Backwards compatibility:

Cat6a is backwards compatible with both cat6 and cat5e. However, it is important to note that when utilizing backwards compatibility, speeds will become limited.

Built for industrial use:

Cat6a is thick and strong, making it the ideal solution for tough industrial environments.

Reduced crosstalk:

Cat6a features tighter twists and more insulation than the cat6. Therefore, the cat6a is able to reduce unwanted crosstalk with a higher degree of efficacy.

Cost effective:

Cat6a is considered one of the most cost-effective solutions as it is being developed and designed with forward thinking. Equipped to support future demands, those installing cat6a are ahead of the curve.

FAQ

Q: Is Cat6a better than Cat6?

A: Yes, Cat6A is generally better than Cat6, offering augmented performance and future-proofing for network infrastructure. Cat6A supports 10 Gbps speeds over longer distances (up to 100 meters) and provides better resistance to interference and crosstalk compared to Cat6.

Q: Should I use Cat6a at home?

A: Cat6a is becoming a cost-effective solution as it is seen as a future-proof cable solution. If the planned lifetime of a new cabling system is five or more years, the Cat6a cabling solution should be considered as an option.

Q: Do you need special jacks for Cat6a?

A: To fully harness the potential of Cat6a cabling, which supports speeds up to 10 Gbps, it's essential to use Cat6a keystone jacks. These components are specifically designed to handle the higher bandwidth and advanced features of Cat6a technology.

Q: Does Cat6a need to be grounded?

A: Yes, shielded Cat6a cables, sometimes referred to as S/FTP or STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables, require grounding. The shielding in these cables must be connected to a ground reference to be effective in preventing interference and ensuring proper performance.

Q: Can I bury a Cat6 cable without conduit?

A: Does Ethernet need to be in conduit? No, assuming it is direct burial rated Ethernet. The depth of burial will vary depending on whether conduit is used or not.

Q: How far can you run Cat6a cable?

A: A single run of Cat6A Ethernet cable can be up to 100 meters (328 feet) long for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T). However, for standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000BASE-T), the maximum length is also 100 meters (328 feet).
