Cat 6 Augmented

This standard sets forth the requirements necessary for enhanced performance of augmented category 6 cat 6a cables.

Cat 6 augmented.

Cat 6 has to meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than cat 5 and cat 5e. Cat 6 supports 10 gigabit ethernet only up to 164 feet of cable length. The category 6 augmented cable standard or cat 6a was created to further improve the performance of cat 6 ethernet cables using cat 6a enables 10 gigabit ethernet data rates over a single cable run up to 328 feet. Category 6a operates at frequencies of up to 500 mhz and can support transmission speeds at 10 gigabits per second gbps.

The standard extends the frequency of cat 6a cables to 500 mhz requires cat 6a cables to support up to 100 meters and adds requirements for alien crosstalk. The a stands for augmented and is a nod to cat6a s improved specifications compared with its predecessor the category 6 or cat6 cable. The category 6a or cat6a cable is the latest iteration of gigabit ethernet cabling.

Category 6 cable cat 6 is a standardized twisted pair cable for ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the category 5 5e and category 3 cable standards. And provides superior reliability and transmission. Augmented category 6 6a category 6a cable is the latest twisted pair cable type defined in february 2008 under the newest version of the tia 568 b standard 568 b 2 10. Decreases the chance of crosstalk interference.

In february 2008 tia ratified the category 6a standard.
