Is there any reason to use CAT 6A over 6 if the lengths are < 55m? - eviltoast

Under 55m, cat 6 should be equivalent to cat 6a. Is there any reason to still go with 6a? Are there differences from POE perspective?

    Look at your environment. I’m sorry I went with CAT 6 for 2 of my runs. They are my longest at 156 feet. And fluke tested to 5gbps. I am in a very warm humid environment.

    I’d say if you can splurge for the Cat6A I would for piece of mind. If not, Cat6 should do.
