Koss 8 ft Cat6a Blue STP Ethernet Cable

8 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable

This 8-foot blue cable is built to Cat6a specifications and tested up to 500 MHz frequency. It uses 100 percent copper conductors with foil shielding to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. The shielded design protects data signals from EMI and RFI interference. It suits standard connections such as a wall jack to a laptop dock or desktop.

Suits installers who need shielded 10G links

The STP construction makes it a fit for environments where electromagnetic noise could degrade unshielded cables. Buyers who require an unshielded UTP patch lead for simpler routing should look at something else. Anyone needing a longer run than 8 ft will need a different length. The cable is intended for indoor patching only.

Foil shield blocks EMI and RFI

Foil-shielded twisted-pair wiring keeps the data path free from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. Each cable is tested for 500 MHz bandwidth to support reliable 10GBase-T operation. The blue jacket allows quick visual identification in a color-coded rack. This shielding is the feature that determines whether the cable matches the installation requirements.
