2 ft Cat6A STP patch cable
This two-foot shielded Cat6A patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and a 500 MHz bandwidth rating to support 10 Gbps Ethernet links. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 retaining clip during repeated insertions. It is built for installers who need a short, factory-terminated run between a switch and a wall jack or device.
Sustained 10 Gbps throughput
The shielded twisted-pair construction and 500 MHz bandwidth maintain signal integrity over the full 10 Gbps data rate without the degradation seen in unshielded or lower-category cables during continuous heavy traffic. Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety requirements, ensuring consistent performance in dense cable bundles. The stranded design resists fatigue when the patch lead is routed through tight pathways.
Cat6A distance and shielding limits
Cat6A cabling supports 10 Gbps up to 100 metres, but this two-foot assembly is intended only for short patch connections within a rack or at a workstation. The STP shielding requires a grounded shield path at both ends to suppress alien crosstalk effectively; without proper grounding the cable reverts to UTP performance. It does not replace horizontal runs that need solid-conductor cable and full channel certification.

Questions about this item
Does the 500 MHz bandwidth rating mean the 26 AWG conductors generate noticeable heat during continuous 10 Gbps traffic?
The 500 MHz bandwidth supports 10 Gbps signalling, and the pure bare copper 26 AWG conductors keep resistive heating negligible for a 2 ft patch cable.
My patch panel uses keystone jacks wired to TIA-568-C.2 — will the RJ45 plugs on this cable seat correctly?
Yes, the cable is built to TIA-568-C.2 and the snagless boots protect the retaining clips while seating in standard keystone jacks.
I still have Cat5e wall plates — will the STP shielding on this Cat6A cable cause grounding problems if the plates are unshielded?
The STP shield terminates at the RJ45 plugs; connecting to unshielded Cat5e plates simply leaves the shield floating, which is electrically safe.
