4 ft Cat6a shielded cable
The StarTech C6ASPAT4BK is a four-foot Cat6a patch cord built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Its aluminium-polyester foil shield blocks EMI and RFI so signal integrity holds in electrically noisy racks or offices. Both ends carry snagless RJ45 plugs that protect the latch during frequent moves. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors keep the cable flexible for tight patch-panel runs.
Sustained 10 Gbps throughput
The cable is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements, so it maintains 10 Gbps bandwidth over its full length without the error bursts that unshielded cords show under load. CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire codes for in-wall or floor routing. UL-listed 100 percent copper wiring (E132276-A) resists oxidation that degrades throughput over time. Shielding and stranded construction together prevent the crosstalk spikes that appear when adjacent cables carry heavy traffic.
100 W PoE and distance limit
The cord supports 100 W Power over Ethernet, letting it feed high-draw access points or cameras without a separate injector. Category 6a standards cap 10 Gbps operation at 100 metres, so this four-foot segment leaves ample headroom for the rest of the channel. Builders who need longer single-cable runs or outdoor-rated jackets must choose a different product. The PVC jacket is not plenum-rated, so air-handling spaces require alternative cable.

Questions about this item
Does the aluminium-polyester foil shielding stop EMI and RFI noise during all-day 10 Gb runs?
Yes, the foil shield is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D and keeps 10 Gb traffic free of EMI and RFI interference.
What ports must my switch and server already have for this RJ45 patch cord to plug straight in?
Both ends need standard RJ45 ports; the snagless boots protect the latch on any 8P8C jack.
Will the 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and CMG jacket work with older Cat5e or Cat6 panels I keep?
The cord is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 links, though the channel will run at the lower category speed.
