These cables are even a faster network cable than Cat6a. They provide a convenient and reliable connection from a network device such as a switch, modem, or router to another device or to the entire infrastructure via a patch panel, a trapezoidal socket, or an outlet. This cable is also commonly used in small office and home networks, as well as in entertainment applications. The cables are tested up to 600 MHz but are manufactured with Cat6a connectors that meet the minimum standard of up to 500 MHz and are backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 cables. Each cable is designed with a hook that prevents the connector from being damaged when installing the cable in tight spaces. Additionally, this cable is made with shielding, which protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI can cause crosstalk between circuits, leading to data degradation, increased errors, and slower transmission rates. However, with this shielded cable, you can avoid this problem.
