6 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable

This 6 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and an aluminum-polyester foil shield to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. The CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements. Both ends terminate in snagless RJ45 connectors for reliable insertion.

Installers needing certified 10 Gb links in noisy

Shielding and Category 6a compliance make this cable suited for runs near power lines or dense cable bundles where EMI and RFI are a concern. Buyers who only require 1 Gigabit speeds or who are routing cable through plenum spaces that demand a higher fire rating should select a different product.

Snagless boots and 100 W PoE support

The snagless boots protect the latch during frequent patch-panel changes, reducing connector damage. The cable is rated for 100 W Power over Ethernet, allowing it to carry both data and high-power PoE loads without a separate power run.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 ports are required on my switch and NIC for this Cat6a shielded cable to work?

Both ends use standard RJ45 connectors, so any switch, router or network card with RJ45 ports will accept the cable.

Will this shielded Cat6a cable cause issues if I mix it with my existing unshielded Cat5e patch cords?

No — the aluminium-polyester foil shield simply prevents EMI/RFI on this run; it does not affect adjacent unshielded cables or require the whole link to be shielded.

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

Check the link LEDs on both devices; a 10 Gb/s indicator or the OS network status showing 10 Gbps confirms the connection is operating at the rated speed.
