The Cabling Podcast: Drilling Down On Category 6A
We recently sat down with CommScope Enterprise Solutions Architect Jason Bautista for a discussion of the finer points of Category 6A connectivity. Cat6A has been a cabling standard since 2009, but what are the signature contemporary advancements in terms of compatible products and applications, and also the thinking surrounding the technology? Our discussion then touches on the different use cases for Cat6A shielded vs. Cat6A unshielded cabling, and what the upper limit of Cat6A might be in terms of future bandwidth speed and distance. Also on the docket: Notes on the use of Category 7 and above media in lieu of Cat6A.
