STARTECH NLBL6FCAT6APATCH 6ft CAT6a Snagless S/FTP network ethernet cable Blue

6 ft shielded Cat6a cable

This 6 ft StarTech Cat6a patch cable uses S/FTP shielding to protect 10 Gigabit Ethernet signals from electromagnetic interference and noise. Snagless molded RJ45 connectors prevent clip damage and accidental disconnection. The blue jacket aids quick visual identification in dense cable runs. It suits installers who need reliable shielded links at standard patch lengths.

Tested to 500 MHz for sustained 10G throughput

Each cable is tested up to 500 MHz bandwidth, confirming performance well above the Cat6a requirement for 10GBase-T networks. Shielding maintains signal integrity over the full length during continuous high-speed transfers. The construction resists degradation that unshielded cables can suffer in electrically noisy environments. It is not for runs that exceed the tested frequency margin or require longer unsupported spans.

Low-profile connectors reduce strain

Molded strain relief keeps the RJ45 body cool by avoiding sharp bends at the termination point. Snagless boots protect the locking tab from bending, preserving a firm connection that does not loosen from vibration. The S/FTP foil and braid contain emissions without adding bulk that would trap heat in tight bundles. It is not for installations needing plenum-rated jackets or outdoor UV resistance.
