Cables To Go 676 network ethernet cable

SKU CH-D1N8-GGQ4H MPN 676

A snagless, shielded Cat6a patch cable tested to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 for 10 Gigabit Ethernet with reduced crosstalk and interference

  • Snagless boot protects the latch from damage
  • Shielded construction blocks electromagnetic interference
  • Tested to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a requirements
  • Bonded pair design maintains twist spacing to the connector
  • Individual length label speeds up cable identification

Snagless Shielded Cat6a Patch Cable

This Snagless Shielded Cat6a patch cable suits 10GBase-T ports on network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems and patch panels. It protects a high speed 10 Gigabit network connection from noise and electromagnetic interference. The design is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements.

Practical limits of the Cat6a standard

The Cat6a standard supports 10 Gigabit speeds over copper twisted pair. Shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense installations. Each pair is bonded to maintain twist spacing to the termination point. This minimises Near-End Crosstalk levels and structural return loss.

Capacity and headroom

The cable handles bandwidth-intensive voice, data and video distribution. Shielding and bonded pairs preserve signal integrity for 10 Gigabit links. It is not suited for applications that require fibre optic reach or speeds beyond 10 Gigabit over copper. Buyers needing longer runs or higher bandwidths should consider alternative media.

Questions about this item

Which cable length should I choose for a 10GBase-T connection?

The listing specifies a 5 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable; pick the length that reaches your switch or patch panel without excess slack.

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean when the cable is installed?

It supports 10GBase-T speeds up to the full channel distance when used with compliant hardware and proper termination.

How does the ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a rating limit performance in practice?

The cable meets component-level Cat6a requirements, so it caps at 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper with shielded protection against interference.
