SKU CH-SMRH-ZGQYZ MPN N262-S03-BK

A 3 ft Cat6a shielded slim cable supports 10 Gb Ethernet and PoE for dense network installs

  • TypeCables - Network Ethernet Cables
  • Length3 ft.
  • Cat6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • Shielded construction reduces interference in dense installations
  • Slim profile is 38% thinner for improved airflow
  • Power over Ethernet delivers power to compatible devices
  • Three-foot length suits close-proximity rack connections

High-density 10 Gigabit Cat6a cable

This 3 ft Cat6a patch cord is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in crowded racks and closets. Shielded twisted-pair construction protects signal integrity where cables run side by side. It connects servers, switches, routers, printers, access points and PoE devices such as cameras or VoIP phones. The 0.9 m length keeps runs tidy in high-density installations.

Slim shielded design with snagless RJ45 plugs

The cable is 38 % smaller in diameter than standard Cat6a, improving airflow and reducing clutter in tight pathways. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated inserts and removals. Both ends terminate in RJ45 male connectors wired for straight-through PoE power delivery. Shielding guards against alien crosstalk in dense bundles.

Verify connector gender

Both ends are male RJ45, so the cable plugs directly into female ports on switches, patch panels or devices. Confirm that a 3 ft run reaches between your two connection points without strain. Ensure the equipment supports Cat6a or higher to realise the 10 Gbps rating. Shielded cable requires grounded hardware to maintain its screening benefit.
