25 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable

This 25 ft Cat6a STP patch cable uses RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and is built for 10GBase-T links. The aqua jacket helps colour-code runs in a rack or cabinet. It suits installers who need a factory-tested, shielded drop between switches, routers, modems or patch panels. Buyers who want an unshielded or shorter cable should look elsewhere.

Sustained 10 Gigabit throughput

Shielded twisted-pair construction and bonded pairs keep twist spacing consistent to the termination point. This reduces near-end crosstalk and structural return loss so the link stays clean at full 10 Gbit/s bandwidth over the full 25 ft. The cable meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements after full testing. It is not rated for outdoor or direct-burial use.

Replaces Cat5e or unshielded Cat6a runs

Swapping older Cat5e or unshielded Cat6a patch leads for this shielded Cat6a cable removes a bottleneck when 10GBase-T gear is deployed. The jump is worth it when the network path already uses Cat6a or better horizontal cabling and the switch ports negotiate 10 Gbit/s. It will not improve speed on links limited to 1 Gbit/s equipment.

Questions about this item

Does the shielded Cat6a construction keep the 10GBase-T link stable when the cable runs all day?

The shielded pairs and bonded twists maintain twist spacing to the connector, reducing crosstalk and protecting the 10 Gigabit connection from electromagnetic interference during continuous use.

What equipment must already have RJ-45 ports for this 25 ft aqua patch cable to work?

Any network adapter, switch, router, modem or patch panel with standard RJ-45 jacks will accept both male ends of this Category 6a cable.

Will this Cat6a cable work reliably with older Cat5e or Cat6 ports on my existing switch?

Yes, the RJ-45 connectors are backward compatible, so the cable will negotiate the highest speed both ends support while still meeting ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 component requirements.
