Cables To Go 742 3ft Cat6a Snagless Shielded Network Ethernet Cable Aqua

SKU CH-PPS0-RT0ZQ MPN 742

A 3-foot shielded Cat6a patch cable with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduces interference

  • Supports 10 Gigabit network speeds with Cat6a performance
  • Shielded twisted-pair construction blocks noise and electromagnetic interference
  • Snagless molded boots protect RJ-45 tabs during frequent reconnects
  • Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable signal transfer
  • Meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements

3 ft Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable

This 3 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. It connects network adapters, switches, routers, modems and patch panels with RJ-45 male plugs on each end. The aqua jacket allows quick colour-coding in dense installations. Each cable carries an individual length label for easy identification.

Shielded Cat6a Limits

The shielded construction protects the 10 Gbps signal from electromagnetic interference and reduces impedance and structural return loss. Each twisted pair is bonded to maintain consistent spacing up to the termination point. Gold-plated and nickel-plated contacts resist corrosion. The cable meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements after full testing.

Snagless Boot Design

Moulded snagless boots prevent the locking tabs from catching on adjacent cables during routing or removal. This feature preserves the connector latch in tight rack or patch-panel environments. Stranded conductors keep the cable flexible for short-run patching. Buyers who need longer runs or non-shielded cable should select a different part.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the aqua 3 ft length or another colour for my 10GBase-T patch panel?

The aqua jacket simply colour-codes the run; any colour carries the same Cat6a shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 ends, so choose the hue that matches your labelling scheme.

What does the Cat6a rating actually deliver when the cable is plugged into a 10 Gigabit switch?

It supports the full 10 Gbit/s bandwidth over the 3 ft run with individually bonded pairs and full shielding that suppress crosstalk and return loss.

Does the RJ-45 connector plating meet the ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements?

Yes — gold-plated contacts on the first end and nickel-plated on the second satisfy the component-level specification cited for this cable.
