Five-Pack for Dense Patch Panels

This 160012 five-pack supplies five identical Cat 6A patch cables, each one foot long, for short runs inside racks, wall plates or crowded switch ports. The white jacket and snagless boots keep dense installations tidy and make cable tracing simple for network technicians and home-lab builders.

10 Gbps Over 550 MHz Shielded Link

Each cable uses 26 AWG bare copper conductors with SSTP/SFTP shielding and gold-plated RJ45 contacts to deliver 10 Gbps Ethernet at up to 550 MHz, meeting TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6A requirements. The foil-and-braid screen suppresses EMI and alien crosstalk in electrically noisy environments.

Handles 10GBASE-T; Stops at 10 Gbps

The design comfortably carries 10GBASE-T traffic for servers, NAS units, PoE gear and 2.5/5 Gbps uplinks, but it does not support the 40 Gbps or 2 000 MHz operation of Cat 8. Buyers needing longer reaches, higher frequencies or unshielded UTP flexibility should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item

What does the 10Gbps rating mean when this cable is connected to my switch and PC?

The cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 550 MHz bandwidth, so a 10 GbE link will run at full line rate provided both ports and the switch fabric are also 10 GbE.

Which connector standard is used and what speed does it cap at?

RJ45 connectors wired to Cat 6A TIA/EIA 568-C.2 specifications, limiting the link to 10 Gbps at 550 MHz over the 1 ft length.

What physical clearance do the shielded plugs and boots need behind a patch panel?

Shielded RJ45 plugs with strain-relief boots require standard keystone depth; the 26 AWG stranded conductors keep the cable flexible for tight routing.
