1: What is the ZORA Cat 6A Unshielded Module?

 This is a Category 6A Unshielded (UTP) network module supporting 10Gbps Ethernet, designed for patch panels or wall outlets. Its precision-twisted pair structure minimizes crosstalk, ideal for offices, homes, and low-EMI server rooms.

2: What are the maximum speed and distance supported?

With Cat 6A cables, it supports 10GBASE-T (10Gbps) up to 100 meters, compliant with TIA-568.2-D standards (500MHz bandwidth). Shorter runs (≤50m) ensure higher stability.

3: What are the installation tips?

• Limit untwisting of pairs to ≤13mm.

• Terminate wires following T568A/B standards.

• Use professional punch-down tools (e.g., KRONE) for secure contacts.

4: Is it compatible with Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables?

Physically compatible, but link performance depends on the lowest-rated component. For example, Cat 6 cables limit the link to 250MHz (10Gbps up to 55m).

5: How does material affect performance?

• Gold-plated contacts: Anti-corrosion for long-term reliability.

• Oxygen-free copper (OFC): Low signal loss vs. copper-clad aluminum.

• Flame-retardant housing: UL 94V-0 certified for high-density racks.

6: Does it require grounding?

No grounding needed for unshielded modules. Avoid mixing with shielded components to prevent grounding conflicts.

7: How to verify performance compliance?

• Basic test: Use a continuity tester to check all 8 conductors.

• Advanced test: Validate insertion loss, RL, and NEXT with tools like Fluke DSX-8000 per Cat 6A specs.

8: Why choose unshielded over shielded modules?

 Unshielded modules are cost-effective and easier to install in low-EMI environments. Shielded versions are recommended only for industrial/high-interference areas.
