CAT6A has additional and tighter twists, with additional insulation to reduce crosstalk. CAT6A is also backwards compatible with CAT6 and CAT5E, however, speeds are always limited and will perform to the lowest category cable or connector that is installed in the link
Made from 100% bare copper, this THIN CAT6A patch leads is a great option for high-density patching where every bit of space matters. 4Cabling CAT6A THIN S/FTP patch leads are designed to use for mission-critical data delivery where performance, reliability and maximum speed are paramount. The 30 AWG cable diameter is thin enough for the cable to reach an even tighter spot without compromising its maximum capability.
Features :
Suitable for installation of IP cameras, IP intercom or 4 wire intercoms.
More Information
Cat6A cable is made and terminated to tighter tolerances than Cat6. This means the copper conductors are twisted tighter. This requires higher specification patch panels, wall jacks, and RJ45 connectors.
Ease of Installation
Cat6A cable installation is very different from Cat6 cable installation cost. When installing Cat6A cable to achieve 10 Gbp/s speed, the increase in costs is not only from the cabling. Extra costs are due to the need for higher performance switches and additional networking hardware. A single piece of network infrastructure, like cable, cannot be upgraded to Cat6A specification and give you faster speeds. That is until the entire network infrastructure is upgraded.
Cost of Installation
Cost of installation also increases with Cat6A cable from a labor standpoint. Cat6A cable is heavier than Cat6 and less flexible. It requires extra attention to detail to terminate properly. If there is no in-house expertise to properly install Cat6A cabling, then a network cabling contractor is recommended
