What is a CAT6a cable? Should I use it?

CAT6a LAN cable is a LAN cable developed from CAT6 which will support more frequency and speed 250-500Mhz / 10Gbps / 100Mwhich is more than CAT6 can only reach 37M distance. CAT6a cable

CAT6 cable

CAT6 cabling can support up to 10Gbps and frequencies up to 250Mhz, while CAT5e cables have 1.5-2 twists perhour.CAT6 cables are tighter and twisted 2 or more per hour. (Amount of twist per hour. Will vary It depends on each cable manufacturer)

CAT6 cables also have a thicker sheath compared to CAT5e, although standard Ethernet supports distances of up to 100 meters, CAT6 cables only support 37-55 meters (depending on crosstalk) when sent. 10Gbps speed,thick shell, it protects against Crosstalk Near End (NEXT) and Alien Crosstalk (AXT).

Although CAT6 and CAT6a cables offer higher performance rates, many LANs still opt for CAT5e because of their cost-effectiveness.

And the ability to support gigabit speeds

CAT6a cableCAT6a supports bandwidth frequencies up to 500Mhz, twice the number of CAT6 cables, and can also support 10Gbps like its predecessor.However, unlike CAT6 cabling, it is doubled and also supports 10Gigabit Ethernet at 100 meters.CAT6cables can deliver the same speed at up to 37 meters.

CAT6a also has a stronger sheathing that eliminates Alien Crosstalk (AXT) and improves with an increased signal-to-noise

ratio (SNR) "A" =. The sturdy sheath makes the CAT6a cable thicker than the CAT6 cable. Which makes it less flexible

o work with, so it is suitable for industrial environments at a lower cost.
