<p>Ethernet cables, also known as network cables or LAN cables are cables used to provide an internet connection and allow you to connect to the local area network (or LAN). The cables connect to ethernet ports and allow the transmission of high-speed data and information between devices such as computers, gaming consoles, modems, routers, and switches. Ethernet Cables adhere to various standards, such as 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX,1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T which specify the maximum data transfer speeds they can support. Some Ethernet cables support PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing both data and electrical power to be transmitted over the same cable and are used to power devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones.</p><h2>Types of Ethernet Cable</h2><p>There are several different types of ethernet cables, and they are classified by their transmission speed and maximum bandwidths.

Cat6a is a great choice for large spaces which may not be able to connect to the ethernet within a short distance.</p><h2>What is the difference between Cat6a and Cat6?</h2><p>The main difference between a Cat6a cable and a Cat6 cable would be the amount of bandwidth frequency they can support. Cat 6a can support double the amount of a Cat 6 around 500 MHz. After installation, Cat6a will also perform at 10 gigabits at 100 m, which is actually over the allocated length for a Cat6 cable (37 m). If choosing between the two, Cat6a is the more logical choice, especially for applications which may require networks at further distances apart.</p><h2>Cat6a Safety</h2><p>As a standard, every Cat6a cable is listed as at least LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen). Meaning these cables will emit a very little amount of smoke and no halogen if exposed to a high heat source. Although you should always check the kind of shielded version you need, especially in a high heat environment.</p>
