25ft Cat 6A shielded cable for 10Gbps LAN

This 25ft Cat 6A shielded Ethernet cable delivers 10Gbps performance over copper. It uses 26 AWG conductors and SSTP/SFTP construction to reduce EMI and crosstalk. The RJ45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots for a secure fit. It suits PCs, servers, NAS, VoIP phones and PoE devices in home, office or data-centre networks.

Plug-and-play patch cord with backward compatibility

The cable terminates in standard RJ45 plugs that seat directly into any Gigabit or 10GbE port without adapters. Shielded connectors and bare copper conductors maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy racks or cable trays. Backward compatibility lets it drop into existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit segments while the infrastructure upgrades to 10Gbps. No power or configuration is required beyond the network equipment itself.

550 MHz bandwidth with headroom for 10GBASE-T

Rated to 550 MHz, the link meets TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6A requirements for 10GBASE-T up to the full channel distance. Shielding preserves margin in dense bundles where unshielded cables would see alien crosstalk. The 25ft length fits typical rack-to-patch-panel or desk-to-switch runs. Runs beyond the standard channel limit or 40Gbps speeds exceed this cable's rated capacity.

Questions about this item

Will 10 Gbps hold up over the full 25 ft run?

Yes, the cable supports 10 Gbps at 550 MHz and the 25 ft length is well within Cat 6A distance limits.

Does the shielded design run hotter or draw more power than an unshielded cable?

No, it is a passive cable with no active components, so it adds no heat or power draw regardless of shielding.

What equipment must I already have to use this cable at 10 Gbps?

Both ends need 10 Gbps-capable RJ45 ports — such as a 10 GbE network card, switch, router or NAS — and the cable will negotiate down to 1 Gbps if either side is slower.
