7 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable for dense racks

This 7-foot Cat6a shielded Ethernet cable uses F/UTP foil wrapping around all four twisted pairs to reject EMI and alien crosstalk in server rooms, data centers and PoE+ runs near power gear. Backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, it drops into existing patch panels and switches without re-termination. 24 AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts keep resistance low and connections corrosion-resistant. A snagless molded boot protects the locking clip during frequent re-patching in tight bundles.

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput over 100 m at 500 MHz

The Cat6a rating guarantees 10GBASE-T performance across the full 100-meter channel at 500 MHz, not just in short bursts. Foil shielding maintains signal integrity when cables are packed alongside power cables, motors and other noisy equipment. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that can degrade throughput over time. Bare copper conductors avoid the higher attenuation of copper-clad alternatives on long PoE+ links.

Replaces unshielded Cat5e

Swap this cable in when alien crosstalk or EMI from adjacent power runs corrupts existing unshielded links in racks, patch panels or PoE+ camera drops. The upgrade is worth it where 10 Gbps must stay stable over distance, not for short desktop patch cords in quiet offices. Builders who need longer or shorter shielded runs should select another length from the C6109 family.

Questions about this item

Does the foil shielding keep the 500 MHz signal clean when the 7 ft cable runs beside power lines all day?

The F/UTP foil around all four pairs blocks EMI and alien crosstalk, so the 10GBASE-T link stays stable at 500 MHz even in dense server-room bundles.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports to use this patch cable?

Any switch, router, patch panel, PoE+ injector, IP camera, server or NAS with standard 8P8C jacks will connect directly.

Will the 24 AWG bare copper conductors work with my existing Cat5e and Cat6 ports?

Yes — the cable is fully backward compatible, so it drops into Cat5e and Cat6 links while still supporting 10GBASE-T up to 100 m.
