4 ft Cat6A Shielded Cable

This four-foot blue Cat6A cable uses shielded twisted-pair construction to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet over copper. It is built for installers who need reliable 500 MHz bandwidth in a short patch length.

Upgrade from Cat6 250 MHz

Cat6 cabling only guarantees 10-Gigabit speeds over limited distances at 250 MHz. Moving to this 500 MHz Cat6A cable removes that distance restriction and adds alien-crosstalk protection for dense bundles.

Snagless Boot and Gold Contacts

The low-profile snagless boot eases insertion in high-density switch ports while 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion. Stranded 24 AWG pure copper conductors and a CM-rated PVC jacket provide flexibility for rack routing.

Questions about this item

What size RJ-45 ports and cable diameter does the 4 ft Cat6A shielded cable need to fit?

The cable uses standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 24 AWG stranded copper construction with a CM-rated PVC jacket that fits any 802.3 compliant port.

How do I install the snagless boot correctly so the latch does not catch on adjacent ports in a high-density switch?

Align the low-profile hood with the port, press straight in until the latch clicks, and route the molded strain relief away from sharp bends to keep the 50-micron gold contacts seated.

When should I replace this Cat6A cable if the PVC jacket shows wear or the gold plating degrades?

Replace the cable if the jacket cracks, the snagless boot tears, or the gold-plated contacts show corrosion that could affect the 500 MHz alien-crosstalk performance.
