C2G Canada

C2G Canada C2G43954 30ft 9.1m Cat6a Shielded Purple network ethernet cable

SKU CH-GE33-4E9QJ MPN C2G43954

A 30 ft shielded Cat6a patch cable with snagless connectors, TAA compliant and built with USA copper for 10 Gigabit Ethernet runs

  • TAA compliance approved for U.S. government installations
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors resist clip damage during frequent moves
  • Shielded construction blocks EMI and alien crosstalk
  • Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 30 ft (9.1 m)
  • Made-in-USA copper meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A standards

30 ft Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable

This Cat6a patch cable is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A requirements. The foil shield blocks EMI, RFI and alien crosstalk for reliable throughput. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during frequent moves. The purple jacket simplifies colour-coding in dense racks.

Installations needing TAA compliance

Government projects, data-centre patches and high-insertion-cycle environments benefit from the TAA-compliant, USA-sourced copper and snagless boot design. Buyers who require unshielded UTP cable, outdoor-rated jackets or fibre links should consider other products. The fixed 30 ft length does not suit runs that need custom termination.

Foil-shielded Cat6a construction

The aluminium foil shield is the specification that determines whether this cable fits the installation; it provides the EMI and alien-crosstalk protection required for 10GBase-T over copper. Without that shield, the same length would not meet the Category 6A performance target. The cable operates from -20 °C to 75 °C and has a 6 mm diameter.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.24 in diameter make the cable stiff or hot when run continuously in a rack?

The cable is rated for -20 °C to 75 °C operation, so it handles sustained use without overheating; its 6 mm diameter keeps routing manageable in dense racks.

What devices must I already have to use this 30 ft Cat6a cable?

You need two endpoints with RJ45 10GBase-T ports — such as a 10 GbE switch, router, server NIC or patch panel — to take full advantage of the Cat6a rating.

Will this shielded Cat6a cable work reliably with my older Cat5e patch panel and 1 GbE switch?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible; it will negotiate at 1 GbE on legacy gear while the foil shield still rejects EMI and alien crosstalk.
