Ensure High Performance Network with CAT 6A Cabling

If you have experienced the loss of internet connectivity and long break in the workplace, you must be aware of the significance of high performance data networks. The local area networks, also known as LAN's, cannot work at the best of their potential without ethernet cables.

Over the years, technology has evolved a lot and there is a lot of demand for high network speed. To support these demands, engineers have developed components and cables that are able to transmit fast speeds at long distances.

The cabling infrastructure of CAT6 Cables is far more superior as compared to the infrastructure of CAT5E. During the initial days of advent of CAT6, it was 50% more expensive than CAT5E. Considering its price, several refrained from installing it. After few years, its costs reduced drastically and now it has become the latest and the most acceptable standard for new cabling installations.


CAT 6A Cable


CAT6A Cable can support the data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps at a maximum bandwidth of 500MHz. If you look at its anatomy, you will observe that it has tighter twists and comes with additional insulation that reduces the cross talk. Also, these network cables are backward compatible with CAT-6 as well as CAT-5e. If you are looking for an affordable solution for a future cabling system, CAT 6A Network Cable is an ideal choice.

End users also have the option of choosing from either a shielded or an unshielded solution. Shielded CAT-6A cable usually has an outer foil shield around each individual pair or around all 4 copper pairs. In addition, modular jacks, outlets and patch panels are also protected by a metal housing around these components. Each solution has its place, as well as its own set of advantages.

CAT-6A cable is accessible in various configurations. Shielded and unshielded cables are generally referred to as F/UTP (shielded) and U/UTP (unshielded) cable. The first letter indicates the type of overall shield while the latter letters indicate the kind of shielding on each pair and the balanced element.

So, improve network performance with CAT 6A Cabling.
