CAT6A cabling offers 10 times the performance and double the capacity of CAT6 for only 10–20% more cost, making it a smart long-term investment for infrastructure expected to last 10 to 15 years. With the rise of Power over Ethernet (PoE), over a million devices like cameras, access points, displays, and lights are now PoE-powered, and CAT6A is the recommended cable. Wi-Fi 6 promises speeds up to 10 Gbps, but achieving this requires two CAT6A links per access point, as specified by TIA. For 10GBase-T networks, CAT6A also ensures optimal performance, supporting the growing demands of modern connectivity.
