Ten blue shielded Cat6 patch cables with molded boots

iMBAPrice

iMBAPrice Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable 5 ft 10 Pack Blue

SKU CH-PPPA-3185H

A ten-pack of shielded Cat6 patch cables with foil and braid shielding, gold-plated connectors and moulded boots for gigabit and 10G Ethernet runs

  • TypeCable
  • Supports 10GBASE-T over 100 metre runs
  • 500 MHz bandwidth exceeds standard Cat 6 specs
  • Double shielding blocks crosstalk and EMI
  • 50 micron gold contacts resist corrosion
  • 10 cables ready for multi-port deployments

Ten-Pack Cat6 Shielded Patch Cables

This pack contains ten shielded Cat6 patch cables, each five feet long and coloured blue. They use 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and double shielding with foil around each pair plus an overall braid. Gold-plated RJ45 plugs with moulded snagless boots complete each end. The cables are UL listed and RoHS compliant.

Suits Dense Patch Panels and Rack Builds

The short length and ten-pack quantity make these cables ideal for wiring patch panels, server racks or crowded network cabinets where neat, shielded runs are required. Buyers needing longer runs for room-to-room links or outdoor burial should look at something else because the fixed five-foot length and indoor PVC jacket do not meet those needs.

Double-Shielded 500 MHz Bandwidth

Each cable is qualified to 500 MHz and conforms to the proposed Cat6A channel requirements of TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10, ISO/IEC 11801, CENELEC EN 50173 and IEEE 802.3an. This bandwidth and shielding level determine whether the cable supports 10GBASE-T over the full 100 metre channel in your environment.

Highlights

  • Supports 10GBASE-T over 100 metre runs
  • 500 MHz bandwidth exceeds standard Cat 6 specs
  • Double shielding blocks crosstalk and EMI
  • 50 micron gold contacts resist corrosion
  • 10 cables ready for multi-port deployments

Questions about this item

Does my switch need shielded RJ45 ports for these double-shielded cables to work?

No, the 50 micron gold-plated shielded RJ45 plugs fit any standard RJ45 jack; the shielding simply connects to the jack shell if it is grounded.

Will these Cat6A cables run at 10GBASE-T on my older Cat5e patch panel?

The cables meet 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T specs, but the channel will only perform to the lowest category component, so a Cat5e panel limits you to 1 Gbps.

How can I confirm each cable passes the 500 MHz Cat6A test after I install them?

Use a qualified cable certifier that reports insertion loss, NEXT and alien crosstalk up to 500 MHz; a simple wire-map tester will not verify the Cat6A performance.
