Cables Direct CAT6A Networking Cable - 10m - Yellow

This CAT6a cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet).

Yes, this is an S/FTP (Screened and Foil Twisted Pair) cable, meaning each individual twisted pair is foil-shielded, and there is an overall braid shield, providing excellent protection against Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI).

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means the cable's outer jacket is designed to emit minimal toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to fire, making it safer for use in enclosed spaces.

Yes, this CAT6a cable is backwards compatible with previous Ethernet standards such as CAT6, CAT5e, and CAT5. It will function, but will be limited to the speed supported by the slowest component in the connection.

This specific product is a 10-meter (10m) cable.

While this particular model is yellow, Cables Direct offers CAT6a cables in various lengths and colors including grey, red, blue, green, and black.

Yes, the RJ45 connectors feature a snagless design with a protective 'bubble' that shields the locking clip from damage during installation and use.

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated and clicked into their respective ports. Verify that the connected devices are powered on and configured for network use. Test with a different, known-good cable to rule out a cable fault.

Confirm that both devices connected by the cable support speeds of 10 Gbps or higher. Check for interference from other electronic devices. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked. Verify network switch and router settings.

Inspect the cable and connectors for any physical damage. Ensure the cable is not routed too close to power cables or other sources of significant EMI. Test the cable in a different location to rule out environmental interference.

The snagless design protects the clip, but if it is damaged, the cable may need replacement. Ensure the cable is inserted fully until the clip engages properly. Avoid excessive force when plugging or unplugging.
