StarTech Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable

This StarTech Cat6a shielded patch cable provides a 2 ft aqua link for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors with aluminum-polyester foil shielding to block EMI and RFI interference. The CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during installation.

Suited for short 10Gb runs in racks or at desks

Installers needing a compact, shielded link for 10 Gigabit equipment will find the 2 ft length practical. Buyers who require longer reach between rooms or across larger cabinets cannot use this cable. The fixed aqua colour may not match existing colour-coding schemes. Shielded plugs also need compatible grounded hardware to function correctly.

The 2 ft length determines the deployment scenario

At two feet the cable only bridges devices sitting side by side or inside the same enclosure. It cannot span floor-to-ceiling trays, cross-room pathways or standard rack-to-rack distances. Measure the exact path before ordering to confirm the reach is sufficient.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 10 Gigabit link is active after plugging in the cable?

Check the port LEDs on both devices; a solid or blinking 10 Gb indicator shows the link is negotiated at full speed.

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The package contains only the 2 ft aqua shielded Cat6a patch cord with snagless RJ45 ends; no additional hardware or tools are included.

Which version of this aqua Cat6a cable should I choose for a 2 ft run?

Select the C6ASPAT2AQ model — it is the 2 ft length with foil shielding, 26 AWG copper conductors and CMG fire rating.
