RS PRO LSZH Purple Cat6a Ethernet Cable - 20m
The RS PRO Cat6a cable is a shielded ethernet cable designed for the reliable and high-speed transmission of data and information across networks, both locally (LAN) and via the internet.
The Cat6a ethernet cable features all Copper conductors and wires and greatly outperforms the Cat6 cable with transmission speeds of 10GB at a frequency of up to 600MHz, twice that of the Cat6 cable.
The RS PRO Cat6a cable is designed with a foil screened twisted pair build that greatly reduces noise and crosstalk enabling a consistent performance and protecting the cable from Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI).
The RS PRO Cat6a network cable is backwards compatible with previous ethernet cable designs including Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 and the Cat6a excels with the following setups:
- 10BASE-T (Standard Ethernet)
- 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet)
- 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet)
- 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
The RS PRO Cat6a ethernet cable features a flush moulded design to enable installation in tight spaces including side-by-side in high-density network switches. The cables RJ45 connector features a protective bubble which allows the ethernet cable to be installed and removed again and again without snapping the locking clip ensuring a secure fit every time.
Features and benefits
- RJ45 Male to RJ45 Male standard connection
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) protection
- 10 Times faster than Gigabit Ethernet
- Shielded twisted pair construction for excellent protection
- Copper connector Gold plated contacts enabling faster transmission rates and increased performance
- Snagless connectors with clip protecting bubble
Approvals and Standards: CE, UKCA, REACH ROHS, ANS/TIA-568-C.2, IEC 60332-1-2 ISO/IEC 11801 ED.2
What is an Ethernet Cable?
Ethernet cables or Patch Cables as they are sometimes known were designed for the reliable and consistent transmission of data across networks. Usually featuring an RJ45 connection for a secure fit they were first standardised in 1983 and they are still as vital as ever. Ethernet cables can be found in homes, schools, and businesses across the world.
Why a Cat6a Ethernet Cable?
Cat6a is the latest version of the Cat6 cable and as such is the leading ethernet cable for high performance and speed. The Cat6a cable requires a Copper build in both wires and connectors and is the only ethernet cable capable of repeatable and reliable performance with 10GB transmission speeds at frequencies above 250MHz. Perfect for office or industrial applications that require large rates of data transmission.
