12 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable

This 12 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The snagless boot protects the latch during frequent moves. Gray jacket aids visual identification in dense racks.

Verify port speed and shielding needs

Confirm the linked devices support 10GBase-T and accept shielded RJ-45 plugs with intact grounding tabs. Ensure the 12 ft reach covers the run without excess slack that could block airflow. Check that existing patch panels or keystones are rated for Category 6a performance.

Replaces unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 runs

Upgrade from unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cables when 10 Gigabit throughput or EMI immunity is required. The jump is worth it for 10GBase-T links, high-density cabinets, or environments with strong electrical noise where lower categories drop packets.

Questions about this item

Does the 12 ft Cat6a cable come with RJ-45 connectors already attached or must they be bought separately?

The cable ships with one RJ-45 male connector on each end, so no separate plugs are required.

Should I choose the 12 ft length or a different size for a 10GBase-T link?

The 12 ft (3.65 m) length meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements for 10 Gigabit runs; select a longer or shorter cable only if the physical distance demands it.

Will the 10 Gigabit rating hold up when the cable is routed near power cords in a real install?

Individual pair bonding and shielded construction minimise Near-End Crosstalk and protect the 10 Gbps signal from electromagnetic interference.
