The snagless clip protection prevents the breaking or tearing of the locking clip on the connector. This allows the cables to be stored and handled without getting tangled in the clips. Cat 6A cables are shielded with a braid as an overall shield and foil shielding for the individual pairs (S/FTP). The cable meets the requirements of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBaseT) with its operating frequency of up to 500 MHz. It has been manufactured and tested according to the guidelines of the ISO/IEC 11801 specification.
