Product Information

Full details

The kenable Cat6A SSTP network cable is an ideal choice for IT professionals and home users requiring high-speed, 10 Gigabit connectivity in environments prone to electromagnetic interference. It provides superior signal integrity and durability for data centers, hospitals, and industrial settings. However, due to its heavy-duty shielding and specialized LSZH jacket, this cable is less flexible than standard unshielded patch cords, making it more suited for permanent or semi-permanent installations rather than frequent transport.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does SSTP mean?

SSTP stands for Screened Shielded Twisted Pair, meaning each individual pair is shielded, and the entire cable assembly is also shielded to provide maximum protection against interference.

Is this cable suitable for home use?

Yes, it will work perfectly in a home environment, though its heavy-duty shielding is most beneficial in environments with high levels of electrical noise.

Can I use this for Gigabit internet?

Absolutely. This cable supports speeds up to 10Gbps, making it fully backwards compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbps networks.

What does LSZH stand for?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It is a material specification designed for fire safety to prevent the emission of toxic or corrosive gases.

Does the snagless design make it hard to unplug?

No. The snagless wings are designed to protect the clip from breaking while remaining accessible for your fingers to release the cable easily.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Verify both RJ45 connectors are fully seated and clicked into the respective ports. Ensure the network switch or NIC supports the Cat6a standard.

Slow data transfer speeds

Ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp angle or pinched under furniture, as physical damage to the internal shielding can impact performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference
  • High-density friendly flush-moulded design
  • Safety-compliant LSZH construction
  • Easy-access snagless clip mechanism
  • Supports full 10Gbps bandwidth

Cons

  • Thicker and less flexible than non-shielded cables
  • More challenging to route through tight conduits
  • Not intended for frequent cable movement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This cable is fully "Plug and Play," meaning it requires no specialized configuration; simply insert the RJ45 ends into your network device and patch panel or switch port.

Installation Tips:

  • Ensure the cable path does not exceed the minimum bend radius required for a shielded cable, as kinking can damage the internal foil shielding.
  • When inserting into a dense patch panel, the flush-moulded design ensures a clean fit, but always ensure the clip clicks securely into place.
  • The LSZH outer sheath should be kept away from harsh solvents, though it is robust enough for standard indoor use.
  • Avoid using this cable for temporary connections if there is a high risk of repetitive bending, as the stiff nature of the shielded construction may experience metal fatigue over thousands of cycles.
