If there’s one place where a cable network can hit its limits, it’s a university. Thousands of students need reliable Wi-Fi to study and kick back with Netflix or video games, while professors use mobile devices for research and the athletic department uses tablets during practices and games.

With a high-speed backbone to support them, universities need a cabling solution that’s future-proofed. Siemon’s full offering of Cat 6A Cable for Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 AP’s San Antonio unshielded and shielded copper cabling solutions provides the bandwidth, power handling, alien crosstalk resistance (ECT), and more to support the newest Wi-Fi technologies as well as future upgrades like 10GBASE-T.

Future-Proofing Your Network: Cat 6A Cable for Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 APs in San Antonio

Whether you need a wire for the Internet of Things (IoT), four-pair Power over Ethernet, smart lighting or in-building cellular, CommScope’s Category 6A solutions are designed to help you meet and exceed these evolving requirements. Specifically, they provide scalability to handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) channels up to 100 meters (328ft), more than three times longer than CAT 5E and CAT 6.

But before you start planning for a CAT 6A data cabling installation, make sure that your equipment is going to need a higher speed. Most equipment in today’s workplace doesn’t require or even support the speed of 10 Gigabytes over long distances. If yours does, then a CAT 6A cabling installation is the way to go. It will benefit your organization now and take it into the digital future.
