Cat6A STP cable for 10G networking

This Cat6A shielded twisted pair cable is built for 10 gigabit ethernet runs up to 2.1336 metres. Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 requirements, so installers can trust the materials for permanent links. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch during pulls and patch-panel changes. It suits home labs, small offices and rack patches where shielded cable is specified.

550 MHz bandwidth and stranded 26AWG conductors

Rated at 550 MHz, the cable provides headroom for 10GBASE-T across the full 2.1336 metre length. Stranded 26AWG pure copper gives flexibility for tight bends behind desks or inside cabinets without work-hardening. Shielding reduces alien crosstalk in dense bundles, though unshielded runs may be simpler where EMI is low. The fixed length avoids field termination errors but cannot be shortened without re-crimping.

Upgrade from Cat5e or Cat6 unshielded patch leads

Replacing Cat5e or unshielded Cat6 patch cords with this STP Cat6A link removes the 1G bottleneck and adds alien-crosstalk protection. The jump is worth it when 10G NICs or switches are deployed and the install demands shielded compliance. Buyers needing longer permanent links, outdoor ratings or pre-terminated fibre should look at other product lines.

Questions about this item

Will the 550 MHz Cat6A cable work with my older 100 Mbps switch and router?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible and will operate at the maximum speed supported by your existing 100 Mbps equipment.

How can I verify the 26 AWG pure copper conductors are performing correctly after installation?

Run a network speed test or check the link status lights on both devices; a solid 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps connection confirms the cable is functioning as specified.

Does the 7 foot blue cable include any tools or wall plates, or is it just the patch lead?

The box contains only the snagless RJ45 patch cable itself; no crimping tools, wall plates, or additional connectors are included.
