Ideal for short patch links

This Cat6A STP patch cable measures 0.5 ft and uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50 µm gold plated contacts. The shielded twisted pair construction adds protection against EMI and RFI interference. It is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet runs up to 550 MHz bandwidth. The blue jacket and snagless strain relief boots suit dense rack or desk connections.

Verify port spacing and cable routing

Confirm that the 0.5 ft length reaches between your two RJ45 ports without tension or sharp bends. Ensure both devices accept standard RJ45 connectors and that the shielded design matches your existing cabling scheme. The snagless boots require enough clearance to latch cleanly. No tooling or special drivers are needed for installation.

Completes a high speed copper link

The cable terminates a 10GBASE-T connection between switch, router, server or workstation ports. Its pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA 568 C requirements for permanent installations. The STP shielding preserves signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Lifetime warranty coverage applies to the cable itself.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.5 ft cable come with any connectors or tools, or must they be purchased separately?

The cable arrives with RJ45 plugs already crimped on both ends and includes snagless strain-relief boots; no extra connectors or tools are required.

Should I choose the 0.5 ft blue version or a longer length for a 10 Gbps link?

The 0.5 ft blue cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper with 50 µm gold contacts and STP shielding, meeting 500 MHz bandwidth and 550 MHz tested performance for 10 Gbps runs.

What does the 550 MHz rating mean when the cable is installed in a rack?

The 550 MHz tested bandwidth supports full 10 Gbps throughput over the 0.5 ft length, while STP shielding and 50 µm gold contacts reduce EMI and insertion loss in dense rack environments.
