kenable External SHIELDED CAT6 Outdoor Use COPPER Ethernet Cable FTP Reel 50m [50 metres]

Product Information

As a rule, you will only need shielding when your cable is running through an area of high electro-magnetic interference or radio frequency interference (called EMI/RFI). This might be output by power line structures, large magnets or sometimes radio antennas. If you are not encountering a situation like this, then shielding won't necessarily give you any advantage in terms of a faster or clearer signal. In fact, it may make matters worse. Plenum cable is used in spaces generally reserved for HVAC areas, usually under raised floors or above suspended ceilings within buildings. It has special insulation giving it smokeless and low flame characteristics. We recommend to use faceplates with full copper cables as oppose to crimping them for our plates see the QS numbers below: Here is a handy reference for you. When looking at the conductor color sequence, be sure you understand the orientation of the plug itself! Yes, it is quite possible to get the sequence correct and put the plug upside down. I have done it, so don’t be a Don. Before you place your cable into the stripping tool, adjust the blade all the way up since it may be too low and cut too deeply. You need to do this only once at the start of your session.

The internal spline is found on all trueCABLE Cat6 and Cat6A cables. The purpose is to improve performance by reducing pair to pair crosstalk. We did not add it to make your life difficult!Do I need STP Cat6a cable? If one or more of the following common scenarios applies, then the shielded cable is suggested: Using the nose of your clippers or a flat blade screwdriver, bend the ground collar tabs downward to pre-start the crimp Can you use our Cat6/6A shielded external ground plug on another manufacturer’s cable? Sure, but first, you should make certain that your cable will fit onto our RJ45 plug. The whole “category” thing is very misleading unless the cable and RJ45 plug are made by the same manufacturer, as is trueCABLE. We stamp a Category on the bag because we go the extra step of confirming fitment and performance with our cable. If your Ethernet cable is of a different brand, you need to ensure fitment. A great resource is Selecting the Correct Connector . Cable Stripping & Cutting Tool (optional but recommended-- our All-In-One Crimp and Termination Tool has a very good cable stripper on it, but ultimately, the dedicated cut & strip tool is more versatile)

In homes or small businesses, unshielded Cat6a cables usually work fine unless your home or office sits near power lines or is stuffed with appliances. Typically, there isn't too much interference around a home or small business environment to require shielded Ethernet cables. In more complicated environments for larger businesses, such as those with a lot of heavy machinery, elevators, and fluorescent lights that may generate more intense EMI, it's advisable to use shielded Cat6a cables, which won't reduce speed and data transmission quality. Generators, air conditioners, and printers can also cause EMI. Therefore, shielded twisted pair cables that fit those complex environments are normally regarded as an excellent choice for industrial environments and healthcare facilities.

Using a flat head screwdriver tip, press the “wings” downward to get the crimp started. Place the plug into the ground tab crimp cavity at the rear of the termination tool. Cat 6 cable consists of four twisted pairs of copper wires that are tightly wound together to minimize signal interference. Each pair of wires is color-coded and insulated, and the pairs are also individually twisted to further reduce crosstalk. The cable typically has an RJ-45 connector at each end, which is the standard connector used for Ethernet connections. Advantages of Cat 6 Cable Now switch to the smaller “finish” cavity. Again, the plug latch-side should be down. Fully cycle the handle lever to complete the crimp. Our older pass through crimp and termination tool (V1) is not compatible with these Cat6/6A Shielded Pass Through RJ45 Connectors. The strain latch presser bar on that tool will crush the rear of your shielded plug. After starting the crimp with the screwdriver, place the plug into the crip cavity at the rear of the tool latch side down. Step 17:

Basically, Cat6a cable comes into two flavors in terms of shielding types: shielded twisted pair cable (STP) and unshielded twisted pair cable (UTP). Both unshielded twisted pair vs shielded twisted pair Cat6a cables are designed to provide reliable connectivity of electronic equipment but differ in design, manufacture, and performance. Cat6a Unshielded CableFor those who would like to understand more about RJ45 plugs and why there can be such a great deal of confusion surrounding them, please read What is an RJ45 Connector? Cat6a shielded twisted pair cable has a shield in cables to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI) from affecting the performance of the cable. It also prevents cable signals from interfering with surrounding cables and equipment. Properly installed Cat6a shielded cables automatically curb EMI and crosstalk, helping to ensure data integrity and high-speed performance. The Cat6a shielded cables must be grounded to work. From here on out, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves with a bit of additional guidance. Step 1: When choosing Ethernet cables for your home or business network, evaluate the environment & cost to select the appropriate shielded or unshielded cables that meet your network needs. All done! So, there you have a Cat6/6A shielded external ground RJ45 connector on your cable now. Go plug it in and HAPPY NETWORKING!

A Cat6 patch lead or cable, also known as a straight-through cable, is used for connecting devices of different types, like a computer to a switch or hub. Designing an easy-to-use and effective large, shielded RJ45 plug is no small task. Here were our primary design targets: Leave the strain latch presser bar set to ON (the tool comes this way from the factory) even though the plug in question does not technically have a strain latch inside. The next step is to flush cut the conductors so they go into the load bar evenly. Carefully, while keeping the conductor color sequence correct, “choke” upward the conductors to remove about 0.75 inch. Flush cut straight across. Grab your RJ45 crimp and termination tool. Place the plug into the tool (it will only go one way). Continue placing pressure on the cable and plug by pushing lightly into the tool cavity. At the same time, press the lever downward in one smooth motion. This single step does one thing only:The main advantage of Cat 6 cable over previous generations is its capability to support Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps) and higher network speeds. It has more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise compared to Cat 5e cable, which allows for better performance and less signal degradation over longer distances. Applications Easy does it. Practice makes perfect. S traighten the conductors as best as possible, without damaging them. These high performance cables ensure the data within the cable will be protected from EMI, resulting in higher speeds and better data transmission. fits and has been performance tested with the entire line of trueCABLE shielded Cat6 and Cat6A Ethernet cable (even the big direct burial stuff) You may already have decided that you need Category 6 Cable. Buying Cat6 cable means you will be able to receive up to 1 Gbps Ethernet transmission. Plus, Cat6 is essential for 1000 Base-T style networks. So far, so good.
