celexon CAT 6A Patch Cable - S/FTP 3.0m, white

The celexon CAT 6A Patch Cable - S/FTP transmits network signals at speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second at an operating frequency of up to 500 MHz. This enables not only the use in the classic TCP/IP environment, but also the deployment of IP streaming and HDBaseT infrastructures.

The common standards for home network infrastructure are CAT 5 and 6. In the professional sector, standards 7 and 8 also find areas of application.

For the CAT 6A specification, the contact geometry in the RJ45 connectors has been optimised. This achieves the maximum transmission rate and speed. The transmission speeds of standards 7 and 8 cannot be reached with an RJ45 connector.

CAT 5: CAT 5 patch cables are still very commonly found in private applications. In professional environments, they are increasingly being replaced by higher standards. With a frequency of up to 100 MHz, data rates of 1 Gbps are transmitted. Especially in domestic environments, these transmission parameters are usually entirely sufficient for connecting routers, computers and other devices.

CAT 6: With CAT 6(A) patch cables, data rates of up to 10 Gbps are transmitted at a frequency of up to 500 MHz. This standard is now used in all areas and is currently the most widely used standard in this field. For new installations, it is recommended to use this standard directly, as the cables are better protected against external influences compared to CAT 5 cables.

CAT 7: Patch cables with the CAT 7 standard can only transmit data rates of up to 10 Gbps at a frequency of up to 1,000 MHz with a GG45 connector. The classic RJ45 connector cannot fully exploit this bandwidth. Since the peripherals are not widely available and comparatively very expensive, the field of application is very limited and found almost exclusively in professional installation environments.

CAT 8: Cables with the CAT 8 standard are used exclusively in professional environments such as data centres. Transmission speeds of up to 100 Gbps at 2,000 MHz are achieved - however only over distances shorter than 30 m. For many "normal" applications, the cost-benefit ratio is not balanced here.

The S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) specification describes the shielding structure of these patch cables. Each pair of conductors is individually shielded with a foil. In addition, all 4 conductor pairs are collectively shielded once more with a braided mesh - this corresponds to the standardisation according to ISO / IEC 11801 Ed 2.2. The cables are therefore optimally protected against disruptive external electromagnetic fields.

• S = Screened - braided shield
• F = Foiled - foil shield
• TP = Twisted Pair - twisted conductor pairs

The LSZH cable jacket (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) of the celexon CAT 6A Patch Cable consists of thermoplastic or thermosetting moulding compounds and is free of halogens. Unlike PVC cables, LSZH cables produce virtually no toxic fumes in the event of a fire, making them particularly suitable for indoor use. In public areas where network infrastructures must be installed near locations with high footfall or run openly, the use of LSZH cables is mandated by the EU. The toxic fumes from burning PVC pose a risk to human health.

The CAT 6A patch cables ensure high corrosion resistance and reliable transmission performance thanks to their gold-plated contacts.
