Category 6a (the a stands for augmented) was designed to offer improved alien crosstalk characteristics and support 10GBASE-T applications up to 100 meters. As Category 6 cable is rated for 250 MHz it only offers a maximum length of 37-55 meters when used for 10GBASE-T applications. Cat6a cable is characterized to 500 MHz essentially doubling the distance of Cat6 cabling for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmissions.

Cat6a applications include use in data centers and high bandwidth networks for network attached storage and other bandwidth intensive applications.
