Five-pack of 10Gbps Cat 6A cables

This five-pack supplies five white Cat 6A Ethernet cables, each five feet long, terminated with shielded RJ45 connectors and 26 AWG copper conductors. The SSTP/SFTP construction and gold-plated contacts are designed to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. They support 10-Gigabit Ethernet and are backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit networks. The cables meet or exceed TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6A performance standards.

Suits multi-device 10GbE runs.

Network administrators wiring several 10-Gigabit links between servers, switches, NAS units or PoE devices can deploy all five cables at once. Home users needing only one patch lead or installers who require longer runs for wall-to-wall cabling should look at single cables or bulk reel options instead.

10Gbps at 550 MHz over five feet

The decisive specification is the 10-Gigabit per second data rate at 550 MHz bandwidth across the five-foot shielded link. This confirms the cable will handle 10GBASE-T traffic without the distance penalty that longer unshielded runs introduce.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the link is running at 10Gbps after plugging in the 5ft Cat6a cables?

Open the network adapter status on your PC or switch; the link speed should read 10Gbps and the port LEDs will indicate an active connection.

What comes in the box and do I need any extra parts for a typical LAN setup?

The pack includes five 5ft white Cat6a shielded patch cables with RJ45 connectors and strain-relief boots; no additional components are required for standard LAN connections.

Which model number should I choose if I need shielded Cat6a cables rated for 550MHz and 10Gbps?

Model 160012 is the shielded Cat6a version specified at 550MHz and 10Gbps; the other listed models are either unshielded Cat6, rotatable Cat6, or Cat8 with different shielding and frequency ratings.
