3-foot Cat6A STP patch cable

This shielded Category 6A patch cable measures three feet and uses 26 AWG pure bare copper conductors. It is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 550 MHz bandwidth. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 retaining clip during frequent connects and disconnects.

550 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps headroom

The cable supports 500 MHz certified bandwidth with 550 MHz tested headroom, handling 10 Gbps traffic over its full length. It meets TIA-568-C.2 and UL 444 fire-safety requirements for in-wall and plenum-adjacent runs. Shielding reduces alien crosstalk in dense cable bundles.

Snagless RJ45 ends for tight panels

Moulded snagless boots let the connectors release cleanly from high-density patch panels and switch ports. The 0.9144 metre length suits rack-to-rack or desk-to-wall connections without excess slack. Pure copper construction avoids the signal loss seen in copper-clad aluminium alternatives.

Questions about this item

Will the 550 MHz Cat6A cable work with my older Cat5e patch panel and gigabit switch?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 hardware, so it will link at gigabit speeds on your existing patch panel and switch.

How can I verify the 26 AWG pure bare copper conductors are performing to the 550 MHz rating after installation?

Use a Cat6A-qualified cable certifier or a network tester that reports frequency sweep results up to 550 MHz; a pass confirms the cable meets its rated bandwidth.

Does the 3-foot STP cable include shielded RJ45 plugs and grounding drains, or must I buy those separately?

The cable ships with shielded RJ45 plugs already terminated and snagless boots fitted; no extra connectors or grounding hardware are required.
