The components of 10 GbE structured cabling
10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper (10GBASE-T) requires cable and connecting hardware of Cat 6A or higher for a 100 metre channel. The whole channel, that is installation cable, keystone jack, patch panel, connector and patch cord, has to be of the same category.

Frequently asked questions about 10 GbE cabling
Which cable category does 10 GbE need?
10GBASE-T over copper requires cabling of Cat 6A or higher (Cat 7, Cat 7A, Cat 8) for a 100 metre channel.
Will my existing Cat 6 cabling carry 10 GbE?
Cat 6 cabling can carry 10GBASE-T only over short distances and provided the link is verified by measurement; new installations should use Cat 6A or higher.
Shielded or unshielded?
At 10 GbE, interference from neighbouring cables (alien crosstalk) becomes important. Shielded constructions are more robust against it, while unshielded Cat 6A cables are designed with a larger diameter. The choice depends on the environment and the existing infrastructure.
I do not know the product code. How do I get a quotation?
Send the link lengths, number of ports and the environment; we will suggest the cable and connectivity.
