What this cable is and who needs it

This 20-foot Category 6a shielded patch cable carries 10 Gbps data, voice and video across a 10GBase-T Ethernet network. It connects switches, routers, modems, adapters, hubs or patch panels in homes or businesses that need high-speed wired links.

How it behaves under sustained load

Shielded construction reduces impedance and structural return loss compared with standard 100 MHz wire, helping maintain signal quality over long runs. Power over Ethernet support lets the same cable deliver electricity to compatible cameras, phones, kiosks or access-control devices.

What to check before ordering

Verify that your equipment uses RJ-45 ports and that a 20-foot aqua-coloured cable fits the planned route. This cable is not for buyers who need a different length, a different colour code or an unshielded cable for simpler installations.

Questions about this item

Does the 20 ft aqua Cat6a cable generate heat or noise when carrying 10 Gbps traffic all day?

The shielded Cat6a cable is passive, so it produces no heat or noise while transmitting 10 Gbps data continuously.

What equipment must I already have to use this shielded 20 ft aqua Cat6a patch cable?

You need devices with RJ-45 ports — such as switches, routers, modems or patch panels — that support 10GBase-T or slower Ethernet speeds.

Will this 20 ft aqua Cat6a cable work alongside my older Cat5e or Cat6 patch leads in the same rack?

Yes, the Cat6a cable is backward compatible and will operate at the highest speed both connected devices support, even when mixed with Cat5e or Cat6 cables.
