Cat6A Patch Cable for 10 GbE Networks

This Monoprice Cat6A patch cable is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 550 MHz bandwidth. The 10 ft length suits rack-to-switch or workstation-to-wall runs in home offices and small business installs. Pure bare copper conductors and shielded twisted-pair construction reduce crosstalk on busy networks.

Shielded Construction Holds Signal Under Load

STP shielding and 26 AWG pure bare copper keep attenuation low during sustained 10 Gbps throughput. The 550 MHz rating provides headroom for PoE+ and multi-gigabit switches without error-rate spikes. RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts maintain consistent mating force over repeated insertions.

Snagless Boots Protect Everyday Handling

Moulded strain-relief boots prevent tab breakage when cables are routed through tight cable-management trays or pulled through conduit. The 0.27 lb weight adds minimal load to patch-panel ports. Black jacket colour-codes easily in dense racks. Not for buyers who need outdoor-rated or plenum-jacket cable.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 26AWG Cat6A cable draw when running 10G traffic all day?

The cable is passive copper with no active components, so it draws no power of its own; only the connected network ports consume electricity.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this 10ft patch cord?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS or IP camera — to plug each end into.

Will the 550MHz STP shielding work properly with my older Cat5e wall jacks and Gigabit switch?

Yes; the cable is fully backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both ends support, so it runs at Gigabit on Cat5e infrastructure.
