Cat6A STP 550MHz 10 ft patch cable

This Monoprice Cat6A patch cable carries a 550 MHz bandwidth rating and shielded twisted-pair construction for 10 Gbps Ethernet links. The 10-foot yellow jacket uses 26 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and snagless boots to protect the RJ45 retaining clips. It meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety standards for in-wall and general networking use. Supplied new with a lifetime warranty.

Installers who need a ready-made shielded run

The cable suits network installers and home users who want a pre-terminated, standards-compliant Cat6A link without field-terminating connectors. It is not suited for buyers who need a different length, a non-shielded UTP version, or a colour other than yellow for cable management schemes. Builders requiring plenum-rated jacket material should select a cable specified for that environment.

550 MHz bandwidth rating

The 550 MHz bandwidth is the single specification that determines whether this cable supports the intended 10 Gbps Ethernet channel. If the network design calls for a higher frequency class such as Cat8, this Cat6A cable will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will this Cat6A cable run at 10 Gbps when I plug it into my older Cat5e wall jacks?

The cable is rated for 550 MHz and 10 Gbps, but the link will negotiate to the lowest category in the chain — Cat5e jacks limit you to 1 Gbps.

How can I verify the 550 MHz bandwidth is actually working after I install the cable?

Use a cable certifier or a switch with built-in diagnostics to confirm the link negotiates 10 Gbps and shows clean error counters at full speed.

Does the 10-foot yellow STP cable come with RJ45 plugs already attached, or do I need to buy connectors separately?

It arrives as a finished patch cord with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends; no extra connectors or tools are required.
