Question 1

Do you offer a free trial for the cable management software? If so, what features are included?

FS.com · Accepted Answer

Yes, FS offers a long-term free trial of FSWireNet Network Mapping System. FSWireNet helps data center administrators monitor, manage, and optimize data center infrastructure. During the trial, you can access all features available in the full version.

Question 2

Which shielding type (e.g., U/FTP, S/FTP) is more suitable for an ungrounded home environment, and why?

FS.com · Accepted Answer

In an ungrounded home environment, it is generally recommended to use unshielded Ethernet cables (U/UTP) rather than shielded types such as U/FTP or S/FTP. 1. Shielded cables have a metal shielding layer that is designed to divert electromagnetic interference (EMI) safely to ground. If the cabling system is not properly grounded, the shield cannot discharge this interference and may instead act like an antenna, collecting noise and creating a new source of interference that can degrade signal transmission. 2. In addition, without a reliable ground path, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and power surges cannot be effectively dissipated through the shield. This not only reduces the protective benefit of shielding, but may also increase the risk of equipment damage. 
So, for typical ungrounded residential environments, a high‑quality unshielded cable is usually the safer and more appropriate choice.

Question 3

Why do some Cat6a cables specify 500 MHz bandwidth, while others claim 550 MHz?

FS.com · Accepted Answer

The standardized bandwidth for Cat6a cable is 500 MHz, as defined by international cabling standards. Any Cat6a‑compliant cable is tested and certified to meet performance requirements up to this frequency.
A 550 MHz value usually indicates the cable’s maximum tested or characterized bandwidth, showing that it performs beyond the minimum Cat6a specification, rather than representing a different or higher category. This extra margin is typically achieved through optimized cable design, higher‑quality materials, and stricter manufacturing control.

Question 4

Where are slim patch cords most suitable for use?

FS.com · Accepted Answer

Slim patch cords are ideal for space-constrained and high-density cabling environments. In high-density network equipment, they significantly improve airflow within the rack and simplify cable management. Their flexibility and small diameter are advantageous when routing cables in tight spaces behind furniture or in under-floor ducts.

Question 5

I have purchased some Cat6a keystones, how to choose the most suitable AWG of cables?

FS.com · Accepted Answer

The selection of gauge mainly depends on the cabling length, flexibility requirements and PoE power supply requirements. 1. It is recommended to use 24 AWG jumper cables in long-distance connections and PoE/PoE+/PoE++ applications, as their lower resistance helps to enhance power supply efficiency and transmission stability. 2. If the PoE power supply requirement is low and higher flexibility and easier cable management are needed, then 26 AWG or 28 AWG cables are more suitable for short-distance connections. 3. For Cat6a links that carry PoE or high-power PoE, 24 AWG cables offer better heat dissipation and electrical margin, while the thinner specifications are more suitable for short-distance and low-power connections.

Question 6

Is the performance of each patch cord tested?

FS.com · Accepted Answer

Yes, every patch cord we ship undergoes channel testing with professional testers like FLUKE to ensure 100% compliance with its category specifications. You can find relevant test reports on the product detail page.
