What this cable does

This StarTech Cat6a shielded patch cord delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over a .5 ft length. The aluminium-polyester foil shield blocks EMI and RFI noise. Both ends use snagless RJ45 connectors with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors.

Who should use it

Installers needing a very short, shielded link between a switch and a patch panel or wall jack in high-interference areas will benefit. Builders who require longer runs, unshielded cable, or a different jacket rating should look elsewhere.

What the bundle adds

The cable is a single 6-inch assembly; no additional connectors, boots, labels or software are included. The CMG fire rating and 100 W PoE support are inherent to the cord itself, not extra accessories.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 ports does this Cat6a cable plug into?

Both ends use standard RJ45 connectors, so the cable fits any 10 Gigabit Ethernet port on a switch, router, server NIC or patch panel that accepts an RJ45 plug.

Will this shielded 6-inch patch cord work with my existing Cat5e or Cat6 cables in the same run?

Yes — the cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements and its aluminum-polyester foil shield prevents EMI/RFI, so it can sit alongside older unshielded cables without degrading the 10 Gb link.

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

Check the link LEDs on both devices; they should show a 10 Gb/s connection, and a cable tester or switch port statistics should report zero CRC errors on the 26 AWG stranded copper conductors.
