Per ANSI/TIA 568 C.2, Cat6A ( link to our post) doubles the operating frequency of the cable from 250 MHz to 500 MHz and supports bandwidth on the order of 10X higher (10 Gigabit) than regular Cat6 all the way out to 100 meters. Of the three Ethernet cables profiled in our “Know your cable” series, Cat6A is the most flexible in its deployments because of its potential compatibility with future low-powered devices (PDs), such as next generation smart TVs, virtual assistants, LED smart lighting, smart video doorbells and thermostats.
With the potential for better speeds and less crosstalk, Cat6A will take enterprise IT networks and homeowners through the next few technology refreshes with ease. Cat6A cables are ideal to pair with fiber optic cable installations because of greater bandwidth compatibility. Administrators often use Cat6A cables to reduce DC resistance and the resultant power loss while maintaining performance. What applications run on Cat6A Ethernet cables?Ĭat6A Ethernet cable is a forward-looking option for PoE devices with higher power demands, where thicker shielding, broader frequencies, and speed facilitate the data required for smart technologies without heating your cable and resulting in downtime. We’re weighing performance versus cost to help you identify your best investment for the near future. Knowing which cable to buy can save time and simplify your installation process.
