Cable Matters 160012-BLK Cat 6A Shielded Ethernet Cable 10-Pack 1ft Black

10-Pack Shielded Cat 6A Ethernet Cables

This ten-pack supplies one-foot black patch cords built to the Cat 6A specification with SSTP/SFTP shielding. Each cable uses 26 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts inside strain-relief boots. The construction meets the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard and supports frequencies up to 550 MHz for 10 Gbps Ethernet links.

Suited to dense patch panels and short rack runs

The one-foot length keeps cable management tidy inside server cabinets, network enclosures or crowded desk setups where longer slack would snag. Shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in electrically noisy environments. Installers needing longer horizontal runs, outdoor-rated jackets or unshielded UTP cables for simpler terminations should select a different product.

Fits standard RJ45 ports on switches, routers.

Snagless boots protect the locking tab during frequent moves, while the flexible jacket eases routing through tight cable managers. The shielded design requires both ends to connect to grounded equipment for full EMI benefit. Backward compatibility lets the cables operate at Fast Ethernet or Gigabit speeds on legacy hardware without configuration changes.
