Network connectivity for LAN devices

This 100ft Cat6A shielded Ethernet cable provides universal connectivity for PCs, servers, printers, routers, switches, NAS units, VoIP phones and PoE devices. The SSTP/SFTP shielding prevents electromagnetic interference and reduces crosstalk noise. Gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots ensure a secure, durable connection. It supports 10Gbps speeds and remains backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive copper cable, it generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no power during normal operation. The 26 AWG bare copper conductors comply with communications cable specifications and maintain signal integrity without active components. Shielded connectors with gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for consistent performance. The cable meets or exceeds the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard for Category 6A performance.

Behaviour under sustained load

The cable delivers up to 550 MHz bandwidth for sustained high-speed data transfer in server applications, cloud computing, video surveillance and high-definition streaming. Shielded twisted-pair construction maintains signal quality over the full 100ft length during continuous 10Gbps throughput. It is not suited for installations requiring 40Gbps speeds or 2000 MHz frequencies. Builders needing outdoor-rated or plenum-rated jackets should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 100ft shielded Cat6A cable and what step is often missed?

Route the cable between devices, then press each RJ45 plug firmly until the latch clicks; the step often missed is verifying the metal shield tabs on both connectors make solid contact with the equipment chassis so the SSTP/SFTP shielding actually drains EMI.

What maintenance or replacement will this Cat6A cable need over time?

Inspect the gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots periodically for corrosion or cracking; replace the cable if the 26 AWG conductors develop kinks that drop the 550 MHz bandwidth below the 10Gbps requirement.

What limit appears first when this cable runs at 10Gbps continuously?

The 550 MHz frequency rating and 100ft length set the practical ceiling; sustained 10Gbps throughput holds within TIA/EIA 568-C.2 specs, but any tighter bend radius or added connectors will degrade signal integrity first.
