Cat6a
What is Cat6a cabling?
Cat6a is the latest standard from the TIA for enhanced performance standards for twisted pair cable systems. In February 2008, the Cat6a was defined at frequencies up to 500 MHz—twice that of Cat6. Cat6a performs at improved specifications, particularly in the area of alien crosstalk as compared to Cat6 which exhibited high alien noise in high frequencies. New global Cat6A specifications require a new generation of connecting hardware offering far superior performance compared to the existing products which are based on the American TIA standard. The Cat6a standard is the highest ISO standard followed by the European standard and then the American standard.Cat6a
