CAT6a Shielded Patch Cables enable 10-Gigabit data transmission over a 4-conductor 24awg shielded twisted-pair copper cable, allowing connection distances of up to 100m. Current CAT6 cabling systems may only support 10-Gigabit Ethernet over limited distances. The CAT6a draft extends the CAT6 electrical specifications from 250 MHz to 500 MHz. It also proposes a new measurement for Power-Sum Alien Crosstalk to 500 MHz. Alien Crosstalk is a coupled signal in a disturbed pair arising from a signal in a neighboring cable. Comprehensive CAT6a cables have an integrated snagless boot and 50u gold plated contacts.
