Shielded Cat6a cable for 10GbE links
This TAA-compliant Cat6a patch cable is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in government and commercial installations. The aluminium foil shield blocks EMI, RFI and alien crosstalk to protect signal integrity on 10GBase-T ports. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A requirements for bandwidth-intensive voice, data and video distribution. Made in the USA copper conductors ensure consistent performance across the link.
Snagless RJ45 clips and shielded construction
The snagless connector design protects the locking tabs from breaking during frequent plugging and unplugging, which suits patch panels and equipment with high insertion cycles. The STP shielding wraps each pair in foil to reduce impedance mismatch and structural return loss. These features keep the 10 Gigabit connection stable in electrically noisy environments such as server rooms or industrial cabinets. The black jacket aids visual identification in colour-coded deployments.
Three-foot reach limits rack-to-device runs
At 3 ft (0.9 m) the cable only spans short distances between a switch port and a nearby network adapter, router or patch panel. It cannot bridge longer rack-to-rack or floor-to-floor segments without additional couplers, which would add insertion loss. The 0.24 in (6 mm) diameter fits dense cable managers but the fixed length restricts flexibility in larger cabinets. Buyers needing extended runs must select a longer Cat6a cable.

Questions about this item
Will the snagless RJ45 clips on this C2G43836 cable wear out after repeated insertions?
The snagless RJ45 connector design protects the clips from being easily snapped off, making the cable suitable for applications with high insertion cycles.
What bandwidth limit appears first when running 10GBASE-T traffic through this Cat6a cable all day?
The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A standards and is designed for 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet), so the 10 Gbps rating is the sustained throughput ceiling.
Does the foil shielding on this .9 m patch cable generate noticeable heat or power draw during continuous operation?
As a passive copper cable with aluminum foil shield, it draws no power and produces no measurable heat; only the connected active equipment contributes to thermal load.
