10Gbps Cat 6A shielded patch cable

The Cable Matters 160012 is a 50ft Category 6A Ethernet patch cable rated for 10Gbps data transfer up to 550MHz. Shielded SSTP/SFTP construction with 26AWG bare copper conductors suppresses electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots ensure a secure, durable link for LAN components such as PCs, servers, printers, routers, switches, NAS and PoE devices.

Snagless boots and shielded connectors

Snagless strain-relief boots protect the locking tab during routing through tight pathways, reducing the chance of accidental disconnects. The fully shielded RJ45 plugs maintain the cable’s screened performance all the way to the jack, preserving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for long-term reliability, while the bare copper conductors meet communication cable specifications for consistent throughput.

Backward compatible 10-Gigabit installation

The cable meets or exceeds TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6A requirements and remains backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks. Its 50ft length suits desktop, rack or wall-plate runs without excess slack. Shielded design and robust boots simplify cable management in dense patches, while the black jacket aids visual identification in mixed-cable bundles. Not for installers who need plenum-rated jackets or pre-terminated trunk assemblies.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ45 shielded connectors or 26 AWG copper conductors need replacement after extended use?

The gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots on the shielded RJ45 connectors are designed for long-term durability, and the bare copper conductors comply with communication cable specifications for reliable installations.

What is the maximum frequency this Cat 6A cable supports before signal degradation becomes the limiting factor?

The cable is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth, which supports 10 Gbps Ethernet performance according to TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6a standards.

Does the SSTP/SFTP shielding design generate noticeable heat or affect power delivery when running PoE devices continuously?

The screened foil twisted pair shielding prevents electromagnetic interference and reduces crosstalk noise for stable data transmission without affecting PoE power delivery or generating additional heat.
