Know before you buy
Yes, this cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e standards, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into your current network infrastructure.
The Neutrik etherCON connectors provide a rugged, locking housing that protects the RJ45 connection from physical strain and accidental disconnection, which is essential for professional live production environments.
No, this cable features a CMR (Riser) rated PVC jacket, which is designed for indoor use in walls and between floors. It is not rated for direct burial or prolonged outdoor exposure.
While this cable uses Belden 10GX technology to significantly reduce crosstalk and maintain high performance, it is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. If you are working in an environment with extreme electromagnetic interference, you may require a shielded (STP) alternative.
The reel is designed for rapid deployment and efficient storage. It prevents tangling and kinking, which helps preserve the integrity of the cable's internal conductors during frequent setup and teardown.
This cable is rated for 10 Gbps data transmission at bandwidths up to 625 MHz, ensuring it meets or exceeds Category 6A performance standards for high-speed professional IP video and audio applications.
