Indoor CAT6A 23AWG COPPER Ethernet S/FTP Network Cable Reel 305m Grey

Our kenable Cat6a S/FTP indoor cable is designed with FULL COPPER 23AWG twisted pairs and each pair of cores foil shielded as well as a foil braid to reduce interference and cross talk.

Supplied with wooden spindle for easy installation. The wooden spindle/spool helps prevents snags and tangles when pulling the cable.

Suitable for indoor networking installations the full copper cable is suitable for data transfer signals or sending Power Over Ethernet (POE) used for Access Points CCTV Range Extenders among other devices.

The 8mm copper cable is more rigid than previous revisions of network cable but easy to install using faceplates or punch style connections

Our range of Cat6a cables run much faster Cat 6 or Cat5 cables but are backwardly compatible. They have double shielding to eliminate cross talk and interference. Referred to as S/STP under the sheath lies a foil Braid and then underneath this each twisted pair is also inside a foil shield. Perfect for the latest in 4K TVs Gaming Consoles Macbooks PC s Laptops Notebooks CCTV Access Points Range Extenders and any other device that uses the RJ45 connection.

So what is the difference between Cat 5e Cat 6 and Cat 6a cables?
There are two main factors to look at when comparing network cables. The first is the speed (bandwidth) and the other the frequency (MHz).

The Speed determines how much data (bandwidth) can be sent through the cable. Cat 6a cables have a maximum speed/bandwidth of 10 000 Mbit/s but Cat 6 carries a lower 1000Mbit/s and the cat 5e range of cables carry up to 1000Mbit/s.

The Frequency or MHz indicates how often the signal can pass through the cable. Cat 6a cables have higher frequency at 500Mhz but Cat 6 only has 250Mhz and Cat5e 100Mhz. Overall a Cat 6a cable will allow more bandwidth at a faster rate than the previous cables.

Cat5e Has a speed to 1000 Mbit/s 100mhz
Cat6 Has a speed to 1000 Mbit/s 250mhz
Cat6a Has a speed to 10000 Mbit/s 500mhz

These cables are FULL COPPER which is suitable for POE devices such as access points WIFI Range extenders CCTV or networking switches that need to carry power via the Ethernet cable to a POE port.

ECA CPR RATED
A CPR Rated cable is tested for basic building regulation standards. This cable meets construction products regulations (CPR) which tests the cables reaction to fire and their emission of dangerous substances.

Fluke Tested!
A fluke test checks for cable performance. When testing a specific cable the main reason for this is to check to the length of the cable meets performance standards per particular cable type (cat5e cat6 etc.). It also checks resistance (ohms) insertion loss margin (dB) frequency (MHz).
