RS PRO Cat6a Ethernet Cable, 100 m, Grey, Shielded PVC

Brought to you by RS PRO, a well-built, durable Cat6a cable suitable for home, office and industrial networks requiring a reliable internet connection. These types of cables are LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) ensuring health and safety standards are met in the event of it being near a high heat source. Being Cat6a, these shielded ethernet cables have a copper conductor and are suitable for 10 Gigabit per second networks and will provide a frequency of up to 500 MHz.

These cables are unterminated at both ends (bare copper), meaning a connector will need to be attached. RJ45 are the standard connector used with these types of cat6a shielded cables. Meaning once an RJ45 connector is attached, installation to an ethernet network can occur.

Cat6a has a reputation for delivering excellent speeds and frequencies at long lengths. A cat6 on average would put out 250 MHz at 100 m and 10 gb/s at around 45 m. The cat6a version will double the length for the network speed 10 Gigbits per second at 100 m, and also double the frequency (500 MHz at 100m).

A Cat6a cable or Category 6a cables are a high-speed type of ethernet cable or patch cable as they're also known. They are used as a commonly within various types of industries and workplaces, including offices and warehouses requiring a network connection. Anywhere which has an internet connection, it's almost a guarantee you'll find one of these network cables.

This Cat6a has a U/FTP shield type, meaning each of the four twisted pairs inside the shielded cabling is foil lined to guarantee extra protection.
