Shielded Cat6a cable for 10 Gigabit links

This seven-foot Cat6a patch cord uses foil shielding and 26 AWG stranded copper to deliver a 10 Gigabit connection while suppressing EMI and RFI. Molded RJ45 connectors on both ends provide strain relief and a snagless profile for reliable insertion and removal.

Foil-shielded construction with snagless RJ45 plugs

An aluminum-polyester foil wrap surrounds each twisted pair, and the PVC jacket protects the 26 AWG conductors during routing through cable managers or under raised floors. The molded boots prevent tab breakage and keep the latch clear when pulling through tight pathways.

Replaces unshielded or lower-category patch cords

Upgrade when existing cables limit throughput to one Gigabit or when crosstalk and external noise cause packet loss on 10 Gigabit segments. The shielded design is not suited for installations that require unshielded cable or for runs exceeding the length supplied.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat6a rating on this cable support in practice?

The Cat6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full 7 ft length.

What physical clearance does the molded RJ45 plug need to fit?

The molded RJ45 connectors require standard RJ45 port spacing; the snagless boot adds minimal bulk for tight patch panels.

How do I install this shielded patch cord and what step is often missed?

Plug each RJ45 end into a Cat6a-rated port; the commonly missed step is ensuring the shielded path continues through shielded jacks for full EMI protection.
