Five black shielded Cat6A Ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors

Cable Matters Cat6A Snagless Shielded SSTP SFTP 10Gbps 5-Pack 1ft Black

SKU CH-AD63-N8CEV

Five 1 ft shielded Cat6A patch cables with snagless RJ45 connectors for 10 Gbps networking

  • Cable category6A
  • First connectorRJ45
  • Product typeCat 6A
  • Product colorBlack
  • Key features, , , ,
  • 10Gbps performance for demanding networks backed by 550 MHz bandwidth
  • Shielded SSTP/SFTP construction reduces EMI and crosstalk noise
  • 26 AWG bare copper conductors ensure reliable data transmission
  • Snagless strain-relief boots with gold-plated contacts protect connections
  • Five 1ft cables provide flexible short-run connectivity

Cat6A shielded patch cable 1 ft 5-pack

This 5-pack of Cat6A shielded Ethernet patch cables uses 26 AWG copper conductors and SSTP/SFTP construction to deliver 10 Gbps performance. Each 1 ft cable terminates in RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots. The design meets or exceeds TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6a requirements and is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit networks.

Suited for short shielded runs in dense racks

Builders who need 10 Gbps links over very short distances and want EMI protection will find these cables convenient. Installations that require longer reach, unshielded UTP cable, or higher-frequency Cat8 performance should consider other options.

10 Gbps at 550 MHz over Cat6A SSTP/SFTP

The single specification that decides fit is the Category 6a rating at 550 MHz with SSTP/SFTP shielding, which guarantees 10 Gbps throughput on 26 AWG copper for the 1 ft length provided.

Questions about this item

What network hardware must I already have to use these 10Gbps Cat6A cables?

You need devices with RJ45 ports that support 10-Gigabit Ethernet, such as compatible switches, routers, servers, NAS units, or PCs with 10GbE network adapters.

Will these shielded Cat6A cables work with my existing Gigabit Ethernet switch and Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the cables are backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks, so they will operate at the speed of your current switch and patch panel.

How can I verify the cables are delivering 10Gbps performance after installation?

Check the link speed in your operating system or switch management interface; it should report a 10 Gbps connection when both ends negotiate at the maximum rate.
