Send product names, photos, quantities, BOQ or drawings by Email, WhatsApp or Zalo. LAIE can support product matching and quotation suggestions.

Do Not Choose Cat6A Only Because It Looks Higher

Cat6A is useful in higher-performance projects, while Cat6 remains a practical choice for many standard office, CCTV and Wi-Fi cabling jobs. It can mean higher cable cost, larger cable diameter and more care during installation.

Cat6 is still widely used in CCTV, office network and Wi-Fi access point projects. For many standard engineering projects, it is practical and cost-friendly.

The final choice should follow project specification, PoE requirement, interference environment, cable length and the customer's future upgrade plan.

Quotation Tip

Send the required cable category, shielded or unshielded type, jacket, packing, meter marking, quantity and application scene.
