ZORA Cat 6A FTP 4P PVC Cable FAQs

FAQs

Q1: Is ZORA Category 6A shielded twisted pair cable faster than ordinary network cable? How much faster?

A1: Faster and more stable!
Speed comparison: Ordinary Category 6 cable (Cat6) supports 10Gbps within 55 meters, while ZORA Category 6A shielded cable (Cat6a STP) supports 10Gbps within 100 meters, and the transmission distance is increased by 80%.
Anti-interference advantage: In scenes such as factories and hospitals, shielded cables can reduce over 90% of signal packet loss problems and ensure "zero data jamming".
Q2: Is it necessary to use ZORA shielded twisted pair cables for home decoration?

A2: Ordinary families do not need to use them, but the following situations are recommended:
Smart home density: such as whole-house PoE monitoring, 4K/120Hz transmission in the audio-visual room;
Strong interference environment: The residence is close to high-voltage towers, elevator shafts, etc.;
Future proof: Pre-wire for 10G network and 8K streaming media, and the life of shielded cables is up to 15 years.
Q3: Can ZORA shielded cables really prevent interference? Is it okay to be close to power lines?

A3: Professional-grade protection!
Double shielding design: The outer metal mesh protects against high-power equipment (such as air-conditioning motors), and the inner aluminum foil isolates crosstalk between adjacent cables;
Safe distance: Compared with unshielded cables, the spacing can be shortened by 50% when parallel to strong wires (recommended ≥10cm), saving wiring space.
Q4: Do ZORA Cat 6A shielded twisted cables have to be paired with special crystal plugs and switches?

A4: Supporting equipment is required, but the cost is controllable:
Crystal plug: A metal shielded crystal plug must be used (the unit price is 3-4 yuan more expensive);
Switch: Ordinary switches can be used, but shielded switches are recommended when grounding requirements are high (the cost is about 20% higher), which is a must for industrial scenarios.
Q5: Why are ZORA shielded cables harder than ZORA unshielded cables? Will it affect installation?

A5: The hardness comes from the shielding layer, but the design has been optimized:
Flexible sheath: Use low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath, and the bending radius ≥4 times the wire diameter is sufficient;
Construction tips: Avoid right-angle bends when threading pipes, and large-angle bends can maintain performance.
Q6: How to identify high-quality Category 6A shielded cables?

A6: Look for 4 key indicators:
Certification mark: UL certification, ETL certification, ISO/IEC 11801 standard;
Shielding layer thickness: aluminum foil ≥0.05mm, braided mesh coverage ≥80%;
Wire gauge standard: 23AWG (wire diameter ≥0.57mm), copper core purity ≥99.9%;
Brand warranty: provide more than 20 years of performance warranty (other brands are usually ≤5 years).
Q7: How to verify whether the shielded cable is really effective?

A7: 3-step simple test:
Check the cross section: cut the cable and check the double-layer structure of aluminum foil + braided mesh;
Measure grounding: use a multimeter to detect the resistance of the shielding layer and the grounding terminal of the patch panel (should be <1Ω);
Running speed test: compared with unshielded cables in an interference environment (such as a workshop), the packet loss rate should drop by more than 95%.
