Shielded Cat6a patch cable for 10 GbE links

This six-foot S/FTP cord uses 26 AWG stranded copper and a low-smoke zero-halogen jacket to deliver verified 10 GbE performance up to 500 MHz. Snagless RJ45 plugs protect the locking tabs during frequent moves in racks or at desks. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and carries ETL verification for reliable multi-gigabit networking.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The cable operates without active cooling, so it adds no fan noise and draws no power of its own. Its shielded twisted-pair construction suppresses EMI and RFI, keeping signal integrity stable in dense cable bundles or near electrical equipment. PoE++ capability up to 100 W passes through the conductors without measurable temperature rise under typical loads.

LSZH jacket and snagless connectors simplify

The low-smoke zero-halogen sheath reduces toxic emissions if the cable is ever exposed to fire, aiding compliance in plenum or public-space runs. Molded snagless boots prevent clip breakage when routing through tight pathways or patch panels. Shielded S/FTP design maintains consistent throughput in electrically noisy environments without extra grounding hardware.

Questions about this item

How do I install the snagless RJ45 connectors without damaging the clips?

Align the snagless boot with the port, press straight in until the latch clicks, and pull the boot back only after the connector is fully seated to avoid bending the clip.

Will the LSZH jacket or 26 AWG conductors need replacement after repeated PoE++ cycles?

The LSZH jacket and 100 % copper stranded conductors are rated for continuous 100 W PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) operation and do not require scheduled replacement under normal use.

At what length does the 500 MHz tested bandwidth start to limit 10 GbE throughput?

The cable is ETL verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A at 6 ft, so the 500 MHz bandwidth supports full 10 GbE speed over this length.
