SKU CH-H38Q-YMM0S MPN C6ASPAT10BK

A 10-foot shielded Cat6a cable tested to 500 MHz for 10 Gigabit Ethernet with snagless RJ45 connectors and 50-micron gold contacts

  • TypeConsumer Electronics
  • Shielded construction blocks EMI/RFI for clean 10 Gb signals
  • Tested to 500 MHz meeting ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements
  • 26 AWG 100 % copper conductors with UL rating E132276-A
  • Snagless RJ45 clips and molded boots prevent port damage
  • 50-micron gold contacts resist corrosion for lasting conductivity

10 ft Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable

This ten-foot Cat6a cable is built to meet Category 6a specifications for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses 26 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors with foil shielding to protect data signals from EMI and RFI interference. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist oxidation and ensure optimum conductivity. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during installation and provide strain relief at the termination points.

Suited for high-speed shielded runs.

This cable suits installers who need a shielded (STP) patch cord for 10GBase-T networks in environments prone to electromagnetic interference. It also supports 100W Power over Ethernet for compatible devices. Buyers who require unshielded (UTP) cabling for simpler routing or smaller conduit spaces should look at a different cable type. The stranded construction makes it flexible for patching between devices, not for solid-core permanent installation runs.

10 ft length decides fit

The fixed ten-foot length is the single specification that determines whether this patch cord fits the intended device-to-device or device-to-panel distance. Measure the required run including slack and routing paths before purchase. If the distance is shorter or longer, a different cable length is required. No other specification in this listing varies by model.

Questions about this item

Will this Cat6a shielded cable work with my existing Cat5e patch panel and gigabit switch?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 hardware, so it will connect to your patch panel and gigabit switch while still providing shielding against EMI/RFI.

How can I verify the cable is delivering 10Gb speeds after installation?

Check the link speed in your operating system or switch management interface; it should negotiate at 10 Gbps, and the 500 MHz tested bandwidth supports 10GBase-T performance.

Does the 10 ft cable include both RJ45 ends, or do I need to buy connectors separately?

Both ends come factory-terminated with 50-micron gold RJ45 plugs, snagless boots and molded strain relief, so no separate connectors are required.
