Cat6a shielded patch cable for 10GBase-T networks
This Cat6a shielded patch cable is built for 10GBase-T connections and fits network adapters, switches, routers, modems and patch panels. The 8 ft length suits typical rack or desk runs. It meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 component requirements for Category 6a performance.
Snagless RJ-45 connectors
Each end carries a snagless RJ-45 male plug that resists latch damage during frequent moves. Individual pairs are bonded to preserve twist spacing to the termination point, reducing near-end crosstalk. The overall shield guards the 10 Gigabit link from noise and electromagnetic interference.
Upgrades unshielded Cat5e
The shielded design replaces unshielded cables where EMI or crosstalk degrades 10G throughput. It is not for installers who need plenum-rated jackets or outdoor-rated materials. The jump is worth it when 10GBase-T gear is deployed and the path crosses power cables or fluorescent lighting.

Questions about this item
Does the Cat6a cable support 10GBase-T speeds over its full 8 ft length?
Yes, the Category 6a patch cable is fully tested to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a requirements and is designed for 10GBase-T equipment such as switches, routers and patch panels.
What connector type and shielding does the 8 ft patch cable use?
It has RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with snagless boots and an overall shielded (STP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference.
How do I install the cable without damaging the snagless boots?
Align the RJ-45 plug with the port, press straight in until the tab clicks, and avoid angling the connector which can bend or break the protective boot.
