What this cable is and who needs it
This 20 ft shielded Cat6a patch cord uses stranded 26 AWG copper conductors with aluminum-polyester foil shielding to deliver 10 Gigabit connections free of noise and EMI/RFI interference. It suits installers and network builders who need a CMG-rated, 100W PoE-capable link between two RJ45 ports in aqua for easy identification.
What to check on your existing setup before ordering
Verify that both endpoints use standard RJ45 jacks and that your switches, routers or patch panels support Cat6a performance to 10 Gbit/s. The stranded construction is designed for flexible patching, not for long horizontal runs inside walls, so confirm the 20 ft length fits your rack or desk layout without excess slack.
Behaviour under sustained load rather than a short
The foil-shielded, four-pair STP design maintains signal integrity during continuous 10 Gbit/s throughput and 100W PoE delivery, resisting alien crosstalk and external interference over time. CMG-rated PVC jacket and snagless boots protect the conductors and latch mechanism through repeated mating cycles in busy network environments.

Questions about this item
What comes with the STARTECH C6ASPAT20AQ cable and do I need to buy anything else?
The cable arrives ready to use with RJ45 connectors on both ends and a snagless boot design; no extra components are required for a standard 10 Gigabit link.
How do I decide between the aqua colour and other lengths or colours of this Cat6a cable?
Choose the 20 ft aqua version when you need a 20 ft run and want colour-coded identification; select a different length if the distance to your switch or patch panel is shorter or longer.
What does the 10 Gbit/s rating mean when I plug this cable into my router or switch?
It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to the full 20 ft length, provided the connected ports also negotiate 10 Gbit/s and the installation meets CMG fire-rating requirements.
