Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this cable for internet speeds faster than 1Gbps?

Yes, this is a CAT-6a cable capable of supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, it features S/FTP (S-STP) shielding, which is a double-shielded design to minimize external interference.

Can I cut this cable to make it shorter?

We do not recommend cutting the cable. Doing so requires specialized crimping tools and knowledge to re-attach the RJ-45 connector without losing signal quality.

Is this cable compatible with my older router?

Yes, Ethernet cables are backward compatible. It will work with older hardware, though the network speed will be limited by the capability of your router's ports.

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

CAT-6a cables generally support standard PoE applications; however, ensure your switch and powered device both meet the required power specifications.

Troubleshooting

Device shows 'No Network' or 'Disconnected'

Ensure the RJ-45 connector is fully clicked into the port. Test the device port with another cable to rule out a hardware fault.

Slow internet speeds

Verify that all connected network hardware (routers/switches) also support CAT-6a or at least 1Gbps/10Gbps standards.

Physical damage to the plastic jacket

If the inner wires are exposed, the shielding may be compromised. It is recommended to replace the cable to ensure stable data transmission.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate
  • Double shielding protects against data loss
  • Flexible, durable cable jacket
  • Compact plug design fits tight spaces

Cons

  • Fixed 15-meter length may be too long for small rooms
  • Rigid shielding can make the cable heavier than unshielded alternatives
  • Requires careful storage to avoid permanent kinks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Connecting the Hama CAT-6a cable is a straightforward "plug-and-play" process. Simply insert the RJ-45 male connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a click.

Compatibility

  • Devices: Compatible with PCs, laptops, network switches, routers, hubs, and wall-mounted Ethernet sockets.
  • Interface: Uses standard RJ-45 male connectors.

Care Instructions

  • Avoid Sharp Bends: While the cable has kink protection, avoid folding it at sharp 90-degree angles to maintain performance.
  • Cable Management: Use cable ties or clips to secure the 15m length along baseboards to prevent tripping or accidental yanking.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the cable with a dry, soft cloth if dusty; do not use liquid cleaning agents on the connectors.
