Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cat6a shielded network patch cable used for?
A Cat6a shielded patch cable is designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications in professional network environments. The shielding (STP) reduces electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for long backbone runs, data centers, and installations near electrical equipment where signal integrity is critical.
Why choose plenum CMP-rated cables?
Plenum CMP-rated cables are certified for installation in air-handling spaces (plenums) without conduit, meeting fire safety codes. This makes them essential for commercial buildings, data centers, and facilities where cables run through HVAC return air spaces.
Is this cable TAA-compliant?
Yes, the C2G43979 is TAA-compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements for government and federal procurement. This certification ensures the cable meets stringent quality and sourcing standards required by government agencies and contractors.
What is the maximum distance for Cat6a cables?
Cat6a cables support 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters (328 feet) at full speed. This 100ft cable is well-suited for backbone runs and long-distance connections while maintaining full performance and signal integrity.
