High-density Cat6A patch cable
This 30-foot shielded twisted-pair cable uses 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors and a non-booted RJ45 design to fit tight patch-panel rows and server racks. Gold-plated contacts rated at 50 µm resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity across the 500 MHz bandwidth window. It is built for installers who need reliable 10 Gbps links in crowded cabinets.
Suited for dense rack and patch-panel installs
The slim, bootless connectors sit flush so adjacent ports stay accessible, making the cable ideal for data-centre technicians and network engineers managing high-port-count switches. Buyers who need strain-relief boots for frequent re-patching or who require outdoor-rated jackets should look at other designs because this model omits both features.
500 MHz bandwidth enables 10 Gbps over 30 ft
The Category 6A rating guarantees the 500 MHz headroom needed for 10 GBASE-T across the full 30-foot length, so the single spec that decides fit is whether your switch and NIC ports negotiate at that speed. If the link only runs at 1 Gbps a lower-category cable will work, but it will not provide the certified margin this cable delivers.

Questions about this item
Will the 26AWG stranded conductors and non-booted RJ45 plugs fit tightly packed patch panels or switch ports?
The 26AWG stranded wire and non-booted RJ45 plugs are designed for high-density environments, taking up less space than booted cables while still seating fully in standard RJ45 ports.
What is the correct way to route and seat this 30 ft Cat6A STP cable so the shield stays effective?
Keep bend radius gentle, avoid kinking the 26AWG jacket, and press each RJ45 plug until the latch clicks; the shield works only when both ends are fully seated in grounded ports.
When should I replace this 500 MHz shielded patch cable?
Replace it if the jacket is kinked, the latch tab snaps off, the gold-plated contacts show corrosion, or the shield foil is torn — any of those will degrade 10 Gbps performance.
