Questions buyers ask

Cat6 or Cat6A for a new build?
Cat6 supports 10GBASE-T to about 55 m; Cat6A supports it to 100 m with better alien-crosstalk margin. For long runs or future 10G, Cat6A is safer.

Are loaded and empty panels available?
Loaded panels are supplied for fixed configurations; empty keystone panels are available where the installer terminates on site.

Do shielded panels need grounding?
Yes. Shielded panels must be bonded to the rack or building earthing system to avoid the shield acting as an antenna.
