ATEN HDBaseT SF/UTP CAT 6 Cable; 305M, Frequency up to 400 MHz

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £719.60 ex-VAT on a 305m spool, this is a “do it once, do it right” cable choice rather than something you’d use casually. ATEN’s HDBaseT-focused CAT6 is aimed at installs where you want predictable performance with longer runs and fewer headaches—think meeting rooms, training suites, boardrooms, and any fixed AV infrastructure where you don’t want flaky signal behaviour months later. If you’re building out an HDBaseT system and you’re the sort of reseller/installer who prefers to remove variables (instead of blaming extenders, sinks, or patching), this is the kind of cable that makes sense.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it purely because “CAT6 is CAT6.” If your run lengths are short, your patching is clean, and you’re not pushing HDBaseT over distance, you’ll often get similar practical results from more standard enterprise CAT6 cabling at a fraction of the cost. At this price, you’re paying for confidence and consistency—so only do it when the project requirements actually justify it (longer HDBaseT runs, demanding environments, and/or where downtime costs real money). In short: great fit for serious, fixed AV deployments; hard to justify for routine networking or throwaway cabling.
