Shielded 10 Gbps Cat6a cable
This StarTech.com Cat6a shielded patch cable delivers reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over a 15 ft aqua PVC jacket. Aluminum-polyester foil shielding blocks EMI and RFI noise. Snagless RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold contacts resist damage during frequent reconnects. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors are UL rated and support 100 W PoE.
Verify connector fit and run length
Before ordering, confirm that both endpoints accept standard RJ45 plugs and that a 15 ft run satisfies your layout without excess slack. The CMG fire rating suits general-purpose indoor routing, but plenum or riser spaces may require a different jacket rating. Ensure your switch and NIC ports auto-negotiate to 10 Gbps; older 1 Gbps gear will operate at its own maximum speed.
Sustained throughput with PoE headroom
Under continuous load the shielded construction maintains signal integrity at the tested 500 MHz bandwidth, keeping 10 Gbps links stable during large transfers or backups. The 100 W PoE capacity means powered devices such as access points or cameras draw full power without voltage drop over the full length. Stranded conductors tolerate repeated flexing in rack or desk environments without conductor fatigue.

Questions about this item
Does the 15 ft Cat6a cable arrive with both RJ45 ends already fitted, or must I buy connectors separately?
The cable ships with RJ45 connectors on both ends, so no separate plugs are required.
Should I pick the aqua 15 ft length or a different colour for my 10 Gigabit PoE run?
Aqua is simply the jacket colour; any colour of this Cat6a cable supports 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE.
Will the 500 MHz rating actually give me 10 Gbps throughput once the cord is plugged into my switch?
Yes, the 500 MHz bandwidth and 26 AWG copper conductors are tested for 10 Gbps Ethernet over the full 15 ft.
