Why CAT.6A? The Difference is Speed
When buying network cables, you often come across terms like Cat.5e, Cat.6, and Cat.6A. But what is the advantage of this BIGtec Cat.6A Cable?
More Bandwidth = More Data
Think of the cable like a highway.
* Cat.5e (100 MHz): The old standard. Enough for 1 Gigabit, but quickly reaches its limit with heavy data.
* Cat.6 (250 MHz): Faster, but often unstable at 10 Gigabit over longer distances.
* Cat.6A (500 MHz): This cable doubles the bandwidth of Cat.6! It is certified to transmit 10 Gigabit (10,000 Mbps) stably and securely. This makes you ready for future fiber optic upgrades or fast NAS servers in your home network.
Always Fits: Backward Compatibility
Do you still have older devices that only support Cat.5 or Cat.6? No problem!
Network cables are always backward compatible. You can easily connect this high-quality Cat.6A cable to an old router or PC. The cable might be "bored", but you still benefit from the better shielding and have the cable ready when you buy new devices.
Quality Inside: Copper & LSZH
Many cheap cables use aluminum cores (CCA). BIGtec uses bare copper wire (CU). This ensures lower resistance and is mandatory for "Power over Ethernet" (PoE). In addition, the jacket is LSZH (Halogen-Free). In the event of a fire, no toxic fumes are produced – an important safety feature for living spaces and offices.
