Shielded CAT6A Patch Cable for 10-Gigabit Networks

This 5-foot blue patch cable uses Category 6a shielded twisted-pair copper to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 100 meters. It terminates in RJ-45 male connectors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts and an integrated snagless boot. The cable extends electrical specifications to 500 MHz and includes Power-Sum Alien Crosstalk measurement to reduce interference from adjacent cables. It suits network devices requiring reliable high-speed links.

Simple RJ-45 Installation with Snagless Boot

Installation is straightforward: press each RJ-45 male connector into a compatible port until the latch clicks. The integrated snagless boot protects the locking tab from catching on neighbouring cables during routing or removal. Shielded twisted-pair construction requires proper grounding at the patch panel or switch to realise the Alien Crosstalk benefits; an ungrounded shield can degrade performance. No tools or software configuration are needed beyond physical connection.

Ideal for 10-Gigabit Copper Links in Racks

This cable suits installers deploying 10-Gigabit Ethernet over copper where Category 6a shielded cabling is specified, such as data-centre racks, server rooms or high-performance workstations. Buyers needing longer runs beyond 100 meters, fibre-optic media, or unshielded UTP cables should look elsewhere. It also does not address Power over Ethernet budgets or outdoor burial requirements.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering 10 Gigabit speeds after connecting it?

Link both ends to 10 GbE ports, then check the negotiated link speed in your OS or switch dashboard; a reading of 10 Gbps confirms the 500 MHz shielded twisted-pair cable is performing to its Category 6a rating.

What comes with the cable and is anything else required to use it?

The box contains the 5 ft blue shielded patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, integrated snagless boots and 50 µ gold-plated contacts; no additional parts are needed for a standard network drop.

Should I choose this 5 ft blue CAT6A cable or a different length or colour for my rack?

Pick the 5 ft blue version when the run between devices is roughly that distance and you want colour-coded patching; select another length or colour from the same shielded CAT6A line if the physical layout or your cable-management scheme calls for it.
