Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does "CAT 6A" mean, and what performance can I expect from this cable? +
Category 6A (Augmented) is a standard for Ethernet cabling that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) at frequencies up to 500 MHz. This cable is designed to handle high-bandwidth applications, including 4K/8K video streaming, large file transfers, server connections, and demanding network environments, ensuring reliable and fast data transmission.
Q2: The cable is specified as "S/FTP". What does that mean, and why is it important? +
S/FTP stands for Shielded / Foiled Twisted Pair. This is a double-shielding design: Individual Pair Shielding: Each of the four twisted pairs is wrapped in its own foil shield to prevent crosstalk between the pairs (internal interference). Overall Braided Shield: An outer braided screen surrounds all four pairs to protect against external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This dual-layer protection ensures excellent NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) and ANEXT (Alien Crosstalk) performance, making it ideal for environments with high electrical noise.
Q3: What is the maximum data transfer speed and distance for this cable? +
As a CAT 6A cable, it supports 10 Gbps (10,000 Mbps) data transfer speeds. Unlike standard CAT 6 which has distance limitations for 10G, CAT 6A can maintain this speed for the full 100 meters (328 feet).
Q4: What is the frequency rating of this cable? +
While CAT 6A standard requires support up to 500 MHz, this particular Vivanco cable supports frequencies from 1-500MHz, extended to 600MHz. The higher frequency rating means it can handle even more demanding applications and provides additional performance headroom.
