Start with what is physically represented

The documented T568A/B-compatible patch-cord role is a two-way Ethernet path; there is no Source/Display orientation.

Choose for the actual job

Select a shielded patch cord within a documented shielded structured-cabling system.

ConstructionDocumented

Four pairs of 26AWG stranded bare copper, individual pair foil and outer tinned-copper braid; LSZH jacket.

Evidence: C984A

Fallback / lower modesConditional

Lower Ethernet rates require compatible ports and channel conditions. A Cat6A label does not upgrade a 100Mb/s port.

Evidence: C984A

Environment and handlingConditional

The data sheet explicitly says indoor rated, not riser or plenum. Shield continuity and bonding must follow the complete system documentation.

Evidence: C984A

Worked selection example

A shielded panel and shielded NIC path can use the listed 3m cord for patching; document the installed link and certification result separately.

Common confusion: A metal plug shell or LSZH wording alone does not establish a complete correctly bonded shielded channel.

Next check: Match exact cord SKU and length, document shielded jacks/panel/bonding design, and request a current channel test for the required rate.

Source-documented example; no hardware test

Capability ledger

Six questions kept separate

DataDocumented

Category6A series lists 10GBASE-T and lower Ethernet applications. That does not certify an installed channel.

Evidence: C984A

Power / chargingDocumented

The sheet lists a 1A current rating and Type3/4 application scope for patch cords up to 10m. Do not treat this as PD available wattage or extend the site's af/at calculation model.

Evidence: C984A

VideoNot Applicable

No native display path; carrying video packets over Ethernet is a network application.

ConversionPassive

Four pairs of 26AWG stranded bare copper, individual pair foil and outer tinned-copper braid; LSZH jacket.

Evidence: C984A

Length / reachDocumented

CAE4100003M is a listed 3m variant. Other lengths are separately listed; whole-channel length and small-conductor allowances must be assessed independently.

Evidence: C984A

Markings / certificationConditional

S/FTP describes shielding topology; Cat6A identifies the stated category; LSZH describes jacket properties. These are different questions.

Evidence: C984A

Explicit unknowns

No physical sample, electrical/optical measurement or hardware interoperability test was performed.
Match exact cord SKU and length, document shielded jacks/panel/bonding design, and request a current channel test for the required rate.
