Why Do You Need CAT 6A Cables for Power Over Ethernet?

Sometimes, if high power is running through a cable, it can cause performance issues by making the cable hot leading to high insertion loss. In such cases it’s best to use CAT 6A cables. This article explains why. To know more about product at https://www.sfcable.com/network-ethernet-cables.html

  1. Why​​​​Do​​​​You​​​​Need​​​​CAT​​​​6A​​​​Cables​​​​for​​​​Power Over​​​​Ethernet? Whenever​​you​​want​​to​​supply​​electricity​​to​​different​​types​​of networking,​​computing​​devices​​and​​AV​​without​​an​​adapter,​​Power Over​​Ethernet​​(PoE)​​technology​​works​​the​​best.​​Also,​​it​​lessens​​the number​​of​​building​​materials​​needed​​to​​connect​​and​​power​​a device​​through​​a​​single​​cable​​which​​takes​​care​​of​​both​​the​​services. As​​the​​powered​​devices​​of​​today​​are​​no​​longer​​restricted​​to security​​cameras​​and​​VoIP​​phones​​such​​devices​​utilize​​Power​​over Ethernet​​connections.​​These​​devices​​also​​need​​high​​power​​levels.​​A new​​Power​​Over​​Ethernet​​(PoE)​​standard​​called​​-​​IEEE​​802.3bt, supports​​up​​to​​100W​​of​​power​​per​​cable. Sometimes,​​if​​high​​power​​is​​running​​through​​a​​cable,​​it​​can​​cause performance​​issues​​by​​making​​the​​cable​​hot​​leading​​to​​high insertion​​loss.​​In​​order​​to​​curb​​this​​phenomenon​​from​​affecting productivity,​​Ethernet​​cables​​like​​CAT5​​cables​​and​​​CAT6​​cables​​​are used. But​​the​​best​​cables​​to​​use​​during​​such​​times​​are​​​CAT​​6A​​cables​. Here’s​​why: ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​1​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​https://www.sfcable.com/

  2. 1.​​​​They​​​​cause​​​​less​​​​power​​​​loss If​​you​​use​​24-gauge​​CAT5E​​cables,​​you​​might​​lose​​nearly​​one-fifth of​​the​​total​​power.​​Now​​this​​is​​a​​lot​​of​​power​​loss.​​Doing​​the​​math, you​​will​​notice​​that​​it​​will​​cost​​you​​around​​$7/year.​​Count​​this​​per year​​for​​every​​PoE​​device​​used​​across​​your​​facility​​including​​all surveillance​​cameras​​and​​wireless​​access​​points.​​Hence,​​if​​you​​don’t want​​high​​operation​​costs,​​go​​for​​23​​gauge​​CAT​​6A​​cable​​which​​has the​​potential​​to​​maximize​​the​​power​​running​​through​​itself​​and boost​​the​​energy​​efficiency.​​It​​will​​ensure​​that​​the​​power​​which​​is transferred​​through​​the​​cable​​is​​utilized​​at​​its​​best​​by​​decreasing the​​operation​​costs. 2.​​​​They​​​​have​​​​large​​​​gauge​​​​diameter CAT​​6A​​cables​​offer​​a​​large​​gauge​​diameter​​that​​lowers​​the resistance​​and​​controls​​power​​waste.​​This​​is​​because​​the​​tendency of​​temperature​​to​​increase​​is​​much​​low​​as​​compared​​to​​small gauge​​CAT​​5E​​and​​Category​​6​​cables.​​Using​​6A​​cables,​​you​​can​​get larger​​bundle​​sizes,​​higher​​ambient​​temperatures​​and​​flexibility.​​Try to​​compare​​a​​23-gauge​​cabling​​with​​a​​24-gauge​​one​​and​​you​​will see​​a​​huge​​difference​​in​​how​​the​​power​​is​​handled.​​Nearly​​20% power​​through​​the​​cable​​gets​​“lost”​​in​​a​​24-gauge​​​CAT​​5E​​cable which​​leads​​to​​inefficiency. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​2​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​https://www.sfcable.com/

  3. 3.​​​​They​​​​can​​​​handle​​​​heat​​​​emitted​​​​from​​​​tightly​​​​packed​​​​cables Usually​​if​​your​​cables​​are​​compactly​​packed​​in​​pathways,​​the​​heat will​​definitely​​increase​​as​​it​​cannot​​dissipate​​away​​from​​the​​cable. Most​​of​​CAT6​​A​​cables​​have​​an​​insertion​​loss​​margin​​which​​is capable​​to​​handle​​the​​heat​​generated​​from​​tightly​​packed​​cables without​​affecting​​the​​performance​​of​​device.​​However,​​this​​is​​not applicable​​to​​all​​types​​of​​Category​​6A​​cables. Although​​most​​of​​these​​cables​​offer​​a​​100​​m​​solution,​​some​​of them​​also​​might​​have​​an​​85​​m​​solution​​if​​temperature​​rise​​is​​too much.​​So​​make​​sure​​that​​you​​go​​for​​a​​cable​​that​​helps​​you​​maintain its​​full​​100​​m​​performance.Now​​that​​you​​have​​known​​the importance​​of​​​CAT6A​​cables​​​and​​its​​advantages​​for​​Power​​Over Ethernet,​​you​​can​​make​​the​​right​​choice! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​3​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​https://www.sfcable.com/
