Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable

This four-foot aqua cable carries a Cat6a rating and shielded RJ45 connectors on both ends. The aluminium-polyester foil wrap blocks EMI and RFI so 10 Gigabit Ethernet links stay clean. Stranded 26 AWG copper conductors meet UL E132276-A and ANSI/TIA-568-D requirements. The CMG-rated PVC jacket suits general-purpose indoor runs.

Home and small-office installers

Builders who need a short, coloured link for a tidy patch panel or desk connection will find the snagless boots and aqua jacket helpful. Installations that require plenum-rated or outdoor-rated jackets should look at a different cable type. Very long horizontal runs beyond the length supplied here will need a separate solution.

Snagless boots and foil shield

The moulded snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated inserts and removes. The foil shield and drain wire reduce alien crosstalk in dense bundles. The 100 W Power over Ethernet rating means the same cord can feed compatible access points or cameras without a separate power lead.
