Shielded Cat6A cable for 10 Gbps runs

This three-foot Category 6A patch cable uses shielded twisted-pair construction with 26 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It is rated to 550 MHz and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. A snagless boot protects the RJ45 retaining clip during insertion and removal. The blue jacket allows quick visual identification in a rack or desk bundle.

Ideal for short server-to-switch links

Installers who need a factory-terminated, shielded jumper for 10 GbE connections in a cabinet or at a workstation will find the length and shielding appropriate. Buyers who require longer runs, plenum-rated jackets, or unshielded UTP cable for simpler termination should look at alternative products.

Verify port spacing and shield grounding

Confirm that the connected devices have RJ45 ports spaced to accept the snagless boot without blocking adjacent ports. Ensure the rack or patch panel provides a grounding path for the STP shield so the cable’s shielding remains effective. Check that the 3 ft length reaches between the two endpoints without tension.

Questions about this item

What port type do I need on my switch or NIC for this Cat6A STP cable to connect?

This cable uses standard RJ45 connectors, so it plugs into any Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet port that accepts an RJ45 plug.

Will this shielded Cat6A cable work properly with my existing Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the RJ45 pinout is identical, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support, up to 10 Gbps on the cable side.

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

Run a cable certifier or a 10 Gbps throughput test; a clean pass at 550 MHz confirms the STP cable is operating to its rated specification.
