When shopping for bulk Ethernet cable, customers typically have to choose between Cat6 and Cat6a cables, but what’s the difference between the two? Discount Low Voltage is here to help, talking about the difference between the two types of ethernet cable. In brief, Cat6a cable is basically an upgraded version of Cat6 cable, depending on your application. It’s more powerful and features a more tightly wound core for improved transmission speeds over longer distances.
The 'a' in Cat6a cable stands for augmented, which is a reference to the cable’s improved design over its predecessor. Cat6a cable offers double the data transmission bandwidth with less chance of interference and greater reliability. Basically, it allows for improved transmission speeds over greater distances. It’s also shielded, making it a better choice for industrial use. The heavy blue jacket that covers the cable also has built-in ridges on the inside that help keep the interior wires in place for better reliability.
Cat6a cable is about the size of a category 3 25 para cable. Underneath the blue jacket, the cable consists of pairs of tightly wound wires that are wrapped around a center spleen. Cat6 cable also includes pairs of wound wires, but they are not wrapped around the center spleen. Because of the heavier jacket and more tightly wrapped interior wires, Cat6a cable weighs slightly more than Cat6 cable and is thicker in diameter.
In terms of speed, Cat6a cable outperforms standard Cat6 cable. While Cat6 cable can only deliver 10 Gbps speeds over a 33 to 55 meter (110 to 165 feet) distance, Cat6a cable can deliver 10 Gbps speeds over a 100 meter (330 feet) distance. Because of this, Cat6a is better suited for industrial and commercial use where speed over a greater distance is a requirement.
