Network Cable for 10 Gbps LANs

This Cat 6A shielded Ethernet cable delivers up to 10 gigabits per second over a 10 foot run. It uses 26 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts to maintain signal integrity for servers, NAS devices, VoIP phones and PoE endpoints.

Shielded Design Reduces Interference

SSTP/SFTP screening blocks electromagnetic interference and crosstalk without requiring special grounding hardware. The snagless strain-relief boots protect the latch during routing through cable managers, patch panels or tight rack spaces.

Sustained 550 MHz Bandwidth

The cable meets the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard at 550 MHz, supporting continuous high-throughput workloads such as cloud backups, video surveillance streams and 4K media playback. Shielding maintains consistent performance where unshielded cables degrade under adjacent power cables.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the Cat 6A cable provide for sustained 10 Gbps transfers?

The cable is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 Gbps data transfer for server applications, cloud computing, video surveillance, and online high-definition video streaming.

Does the shielded Cat 6A cable run hot or draw noticeable power during all-day use?

The passive copper cable has no active components, so it generates no heat and draws no power of its own; the connectors are rated for a maximum current of 6 amps for PoE devices.

What network ports must my equipment already have to use this RJ45 Cat 6A cable?

Your devices need standard RJ45 Ethernet ports; the cable is male-to-male with 8-pin connectors and is backwards compatible with existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet equipment.
