frequently asked questions about Cat6a Shielded Plenum Cables

What is Category 6A Ethernet Shielded Plenum Cable?
Cat6A Shielded Plenum Cables offer high-performance over networks designed for data transmission at speeds up to 10 Gbps. The shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) and is plenum-rated for use in air-handling spaces (or crawl spaces).
Why should I choose a shielded cable over an unshielded one?
Shielded cables are better for environments with high levels of EMI or RFI, such as data centers. The shielding helps to maintain signal integrity, reducing the risk of data loss or errors during transmission.
What makes a cable "plenum-rated"?
A plenum-rated cable has a special jacket made of low-smoke, fire-resistant materials. It is designed for use in plenum spaces. Plenum spaces consist of air ducts or ceilings, where fire safety is crucial. Using non-plenum-rated cables in these areas can pose a fire hazard.
Can Category 6A Shielded Plenum Cables be used for both indoor and outdoor installations?
Cat6a Plenum Cables are primarily designed for indoor use, especially in plenum spaces. However, if outdoor use is required, they must be installed in a protective conduit to shield them from environmental elements.
Are Category 6A Ethernet Shielded Plenum Cables backward compatible with older network standards?
Yes, Category 6A cables are backward compatible with older standards like Cat 6, Cat 5e, and Cat 5. This means they can be used with existing network equipment while offering enhanced performance for future upgrades.
