  • Blue jacket colour simplifies cable identification in dense patch panels

30ft Cat6a S/FTP cable for 10 Gigabit networks

This 30ft shielded Cat6a cable delivers dependable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The S/FTP construction protects against electromagnetic interference and noise for a fast and safe network. It is tested up to 500 MHz frequency and suits 10GBase-T networks. Snagless molded RJ45 connectors prevent clip damage and accidental disconnections.

Replacing unshielded or lower-category patch cords

Upgrade from unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cables when EMI or RFI degrades throughput in dense cable runs. The jump is worth it when 10GBase-T links require consistent 500 MHz performance and connector reliability. Snagless boots reduce clip breakage during frequent patch-panel changes. Shielded S/FTP design maintains signal integrity where unshielded cables cannot.

Sustained 10GBase-T throughput in noisy environments

Under continuous load the double-shielded pairs resist alien crosstalk and external interference that degrade burst-only tests. Molded strain relief keeps each connector seated during vibration or thermal cycling. The result is stable 10 Gigabit bandwidth across the full 30ft run without the performance drops seen in unshielded alternatives.

Questions about this item

What connector type and cable length do I need to plan for when routing this 30ft Cat6a cable?

The cable is 30ft long and terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends, so allow space for the connector bodies and the snagless boots at each termination point.

How do I correctly seat the snagless RJ45 plugs without damaging the latch?

Push the connector straight in until the molded snagless boot clicks securely; the boot protects the latch tab, so do not force it at an angle or pull on the cable body to remove it.

How often should I re-test or replace a shielded Cat6a cable rated for 500 MHz?

The cable is tested to 500 MHz for 10 Gigabit performance; inspect the shielding and connectors during any network rework and replace only if physical damage or persistent errors appear.
