Cat6 vs Cat6A
Cat6 supports 10G over shorter distances; Cat6A supports 10G up to 100 m and handles higher PoE loads better.
Installation practices
- Respect bend radius and pull tension
- Separate from power cables
- Use proper containment
- Label both ends
- Certify every link
PoE considerations
High-power PoE heats bundles; Cat6A and good bundling reduce issues.
Documentation
Test reports and labelled patch panels save time for years.
