Aston Cable's Superior Copper vs Aluminum Clad Copper Wire in High-Speed Cat6A LAN Cables

Aston Cable brings forward an advanced solution for your networking needs with our High-Speed Cat6A LAN Cable. This superior product is designed considering the ongoing battle of copper clad aluminum vs copper wire. In contrast to conventional copper wire, the Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) wire used in our Cat6A cable offers a blend of affordability and efficiency. Our Cat6A LAN Cable delivers remarkable performance for up to 10-Gigabit networking over a significant 328-foot length. This optimal performance stems from the unique properties of the CCA wire that provides the same efficiency as a pure copper wire while being much lighter. Addressing the copper clad aluminum vs copper wire debate, our product offers the durability of copper and the lightweight benefits of aluminum. This combination ensures that the cable remains easy to install without compromising on the network speed or quality of data transmission.

· Short Description

-Cat6A Designed For Higher Performance

Cat6A can comfortably handle up to 10-Gigabit networking over the entire 328-foot length. This robust option provides plenty of headroom for IT networks these days with 100 percent uptime. Why is Cat6A sturdier? That capability is due to several components.

Cat6A has a spline or layer between twisted pair cables. This shield prevents interference from internal “bleed” from the other twisted pair and external interference due to electromagnetic interference from machinery, Cat6A and power lines in the vicinity.

Like Cat 6, Cat6A twisted pairs have a cable gauge of 23 AWG. In contrast, Cat6A is more tightly wound than Cat6, providing more copper per inch. This higher density of copper is one reason why this grade of cabling costs more. That same thickness also provides a more robust signal path and thus reduces resistance and prevents power loss.

Cat6A (a full 328-feet) signals reach farther than Cat6 (110-feet). Outside of a local area network (LAN) deployment, it gives installers more flexibility and real estate for connecting devices throughout a structure and between buildings.

Cat6A has thicker casings, making it more durable in extreme weather conditions and improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Outdoor rated can easily handle rain, underground and extreme temperature environments.

Cat6A is stiff and harder to bend, making it a bit more challenging to install, but the benefits in terms of network expansion and smart building deployments make it an ideal choice.

Those are features specific to Cat6A grade cables. There are other features universal to all Ethernet cables that are worth noting.

What Is the Difference Between CAT 6 and CAT 6A?

The “A” added onto the CAT 6 cable means that this type of CAT 6 has been augmented.

The CAT 6A is an improvement on the CAT 6 in that it is able to accommodate 10 Gigabit Ethernet data rates up to 328 feet on a single cable.

This means that it is twice as fast as the CAT 6. They are thicker than the CAT 6 cable but they still use the same RJ-45 connectors. The faster speed of the CAT 6A does come at a higher price tag though.

CAT 6a cables have also been shielded which means that they have a thicker covering which helps to eliminate crosstalk completely.

Is There a Cat 6e Ethernet Cable?

There is some confusion surrounding the term Cat 6e, but Cat 6e is not an actual standard. When Cat 6 cables were first coming out, some manufacturers started to offer cables labelled as “Category 6e” following the pattern established by Cat 5 and Cat 5e cables.

They were trying to show that their cable was an upgrade from the Cat 6 ones just like the Cat 5e was an upgrade from the Cat 5. This was not the case though since no legitimate Category 6e standard exists and Cat 6e is not recognized by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).

The TIA is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)  to develop standards for the telecommunications industry.
