CAT 6A Data Cables | 10 GbE, 500 MHz, LSZH | ETK Kablo
ETK Kablo CAT 6A data cables deliver outstanding performance for modern high-speed networks that demand reliability and bandwidth. Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) and operating frequencies up to 500 MHz, they ensure stable, interference-free communication in data centers, corporate networks, industrial automation, and large commercial buildings.
High-Performance Network Cabling
Our CAT 6A cable range includes U/UTP (Unshielded), F/UTP (Foil Shielded), and S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) types. The U/UTP version provides excellent performance for offices and low-EMI environments, while F/UTP and S/FTP designs deliver superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk—ideal for data centers, hospitals, and industrial sites.
Advanced Design & Crosstalk Reduction
ETK Kablo’s CAT 6A cables feature precision-engineered twisted pairs, optimized lay lengths, and high-grade insulation materials to minimize Alien Crosstalk (AXT). This design ensures consistent signal integrity and low attenuation, even in dense bundles and high-performance structured cabling systems.
Materials & Safety Options
Each cable uses premium bare-copper conductors to reduce resistance and maintain long-distance transmission quality. Outer jackets are available in LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), PVC, or PE materials depending on installation needs. LSZH variants are recommended for enclosed public spaces—such as airports, schools, or data halls—where minimal smoke and toxicity are essential for safety compliance.
International Standards Compliance
ETK Kablo CAT 6A cables comply with ISO/IEC 11801 (Class Ea), ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, and EN 50173 standards. They are rigorously tested in-house for attenuation, NEXT, PSNEXT, and return loss to ensure superior and repeatable performance that meets CPR (Construction Products Regulation) fire classifications including B2ca and Cca.

CAT 6A — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cat6a better than Cat6?
Yes. Cat6a cables are the enhanced version of Cat6, offering double the bandwidth (up to 500 MHz vs 250 MHz) and full 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over 100 meters. They also feature tighter twist rates and improved shielding options, resulting in lower crosstalk and better noise immunity. Cat6a is the recommended choice for future-ready network installations.
Is Cat6a 10 Gbps?
Yes. Cat6a (Augmented Category 6) is specifically designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) at full channel length — up to 100 meters (328 ft). Its higher 500 MHz bandwidth and improved pair separation ensure consistent 10 GbE speeds even in dense or noisy cabling environments.
Is Cat6a or Cat7 better?
Cat7 offers higher shielding and bandwidth (600 MHz) but uses non-standard connectors like GG45 or TERA, making it less common for typical RJ45 networks. Cat6a is fully standardized, easier to install, and supports 10 GbE over 100 m, which makes it the most practical choice for offices, data centers, and structured cabling systems.
