CAT6A Copper Network Cable Reel Box 10GBASE T Ethernet Drum LAN UTP RJ45

Uses - This cable is commonly used for networking and AV installations. The CAT6A specification means the cable will be suitable for 10 gigabit network connectivity at up to 100 metres. The cable can be cut to length and fitted with RJ45 connectors, we recommend connectors that are specified as CAT6 or CAT6A. If you plan to fit these yourself, you will also need a RJ45 crimping tool, which we also supply. We would recommend using CAT6 or CAT6A connectors.

Made From - Pure copper conductors, this cable has been tested and is certified to CAT6A specification.

Ease of use - To make measuring easy the cable is marked at 1 metre intervals.

Wiring – Depending on the application in which you hope to use it, the cable can be wired in both the ‘straight through’ or ‘cross-over’ configurations.

'Cross over' cables are usually used for connecting 2 computers directly to one another, without the use of a Hub or Router. They use 568-A wiring at one end, and 568-B at the other.

'Straight through' cables can be used for connecting a PC or games console to a network switch/Router, or, in conjunction with AV extender devices, for audio and video distribution throughout a home or commercial project. To create a 'straight through' cable, it should be wired using the same wiring variant at both ends. Either ‘568-A to 568-A’ or ‘568-B to 568-B’

Variants

– The 2 wiring configurations for CAT5 cable. TIA/EIA-568-A & TIA/EIA-568-B. have no technical differences between them. However, they connect the wires to the connector in a different order, as shown in the wiring diagram above.
