I'm currently in the process of having my newly built house wired with copper ethernet cables.
This setup is supposed to be "future-proof" to some extend (10-15 years) so I do intent to use 10 GbE in a couple of years.
I've had a look around the internet, including SE, but I did not find an answer to the following:
What kind of CAT6a cables to use for 10GbE ?
| Iso Name | Cable shielding | Pair shielding |
|:--------:|:---------------:|:--------------:|
| U/UTP | NONE | NONE |
| U/FTP | NONE | Foil |
| S/UTP | Braiding | NONE |
| F/FTP | Foil | Foil |
| F/FTP | Foil | Foil |
| S/FTP | Braiding | Foil |
| SF/FTP | Braidning, foil | Foil |
Some additional info:
We are talking about ~ 40 cables, the house is tiny so there are going to be a lot of cables next to each other in the (brick) walls, next to power lines, etc.
POE+ is going to be used for a couple of IP cameras.
All of them terminate on a switch panel in the cellar. Some of them are going outside, into the garden (underground). None should exceed 50m of length, I think.
I'm going to use a FLUKE LAN tester to make sure they have been installed properly.
Disclaimer:
Fiber is not an option, because I don't want to invest in completely new network equipment to handle fiber AND copper Ethernet.
Especially with things like POE+, etc. I would also have to look for new contractors.
