Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cat6a and Cat6 ethernet cables?
Cat6a cables support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds at full 100-meter distances, while standard Cat6 cables are limited to 10 Gigabit over shorter runs (up to 55 meters). The Cat6a shielded design provides enhanced bandwidth and superior EMI/RFI protection, making it ideal for data centers and enterprise networks requiring maximum performance.
Why choose S/FTP shielding for network cables?
S/FTP shielding (foil and braid) offers comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference from power lines, fluorescent lighting, and radio frequencies. This is critical in dense server environments where multiple cables run in close proximity. The snagless design ensures the shielding remains intact during installation.
Is this patch cable TAA-compliant?
Yes, the C2G Cat6a cable is fully TAA-compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements for government and public sector procurement. This certification ensures the product meets strict sourcing and manufacturing standards required by federal agencies and government contractors.
What length options are available for this cable?
This model is available in 20 feet (6.1m). For different distances, C2G offers Cat6a shielded cables in various lengths to accommodate different network topologies and installation requirements in enterprise environments.
