8 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable

This eight-foot Cat6a patch cable uses RJ45 connectors on both ends and aluminium-polyester foil shielding. It is built for installers and network managers who need a short, shielded run that meets Category 6A performance requirements. The CMG-rated PVC jacket suits general-purpose indoor routing.

Sustained 10 Gigabit throughput

The cable is specified for 10 Gigabit connections and tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements. Its 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and foil shield keep EMI and RFI noise low during continuous high-speed traffic. The construction also supports 100 W Power over Ethernet without degrading signal quality.

Snagless boots simplify routing

Moulded snagless boots protect the locking tabs while the cable is pulled through cable managers or tight pathways. The stranded conductors make the cord flexible for patch-panel work, yet the foil shield adds stiffness that can resist sharp bends. Installers should maintain the minimum bend radius to avoid shield damage.

Questions about this item

Does the shielded Cat6a cable stay cool when carrying 100 W PoE all day?

The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE, so normal operation does not generate noticeable heat.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports to use this patch cord?

Both ends use RJ45 connectors, so the switch, router, server or workstation you connect must each provide a standard RJ45 jack.

Will this Cat6a cord work reliably with older Cat5e or Cat6 ports I still have?

The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 equipment at their rated speeds.
