Rated to 500MHz, this 3m CAT6A lead carries 10GBASE-T across a full 100 metre channel. That makes it a sensible choice for 10G switch uplinks, NAS boxes and multi-gig Wi-Fi access points.
The cable uses foil around each pair and an overall foil layer (F/FTP). For the screen to do its job, pair it with shielded panels, keystones and switch ports. The black PE (polyethylene) outer jacket is made for outdoor use, so the lead can be run along walls, fences and between buildings. Moulded boots support the cable where it meets the plug, reducing strain on the conductors.
Long enough to run from a wall port to a desk across the room, or between cabinets in a comms room. Black is one of several colours in the range, so you can colour-code by department, VLAN or device type.
