20 ft Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable

This 20 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and aluminum-polyester foil shielding to deliver 10 Gbps Ethernet performance. Snagless RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold contacts resist damage during repeated insertion. The CMG-rated PVC jacket suits general-purpose indoor runs. ETL verification confirms compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements.

Suited for high-speed PoE links up to 100W

The cable supports 100W Power over Ethernet alongside 500 MHz bandwidth, making it appropriate for access points, cameras and switches that need both data and power on a single run. Builders who require plenum-rated or outdoor-rated jackets should select a different cable type. Installations needing longer continuous lengths will need additional couplers or a bulk spool.

Consistent throughput under sustained 10 Gbps loads

Shielded construction suppresses EMI and RFI interference that can degrade signal integrity during prolonged high-throughput transfers. Stranded 100% copper conductors maintain flexibility without increasing attenuation over the 20 ft distance. The snagless boot design protects the latch tab, reducing intermittent disconnects when cables are routed through tight cable-management channels.

Questions about this item

Do I need a router or switch with 10 Gigabit ports to use this 20 ft Cat6a cable?

Yes, both ends of the link must support 10 Gbps to reach the rated speed.

Will this shielded Cat6a patch cord work with my existing Cat6 wall jacks?

The RJ45 connectors are backward compatible with Category 6 hardware.

How can I verify the cable is delivering a 10 Gigabit link after I plug it in?

Check the link-speed indicator on the switch or NIC; it should show 10 Gbps.
