Cat6A STP 2 ft cable

The Monoprice 8601 is a shielded Cat6A patch cable built with 26AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps speeds over its 2 ft length. The blue jacket and snagless boots suit home offices, rack patches or any short structured run.

Snagless boot simple routing

The RJ45 plugs feature snagless moulded boots that protect the retaining clip during pulls through cable managers or tight panels. Stranded 26AWG construction keeps the cable flexible for easy bends behind desks or inside enclosures. Shielded twisted pair design requires both ends to be grounded for full EMI protection.

Short runs need shielding

Buyers needing a short, shielded Cat6A link for 10G switches, servers or patch panels will find the length and spec match. Installers requiring longer horizontal runs, solid-core cable for punch-down termination or unshielded UTP for simpler grounding should look at other cable types.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering 10G speeds after installation?

Connect both ends to 10G-capable ports and run a throughput test; sustained rates near 10 Gbps show the 550 MHz Cat6A link is performing correctly.

What comes with the 2 ft Blue Cat6A cable and what must I source separately?

The cable arrives with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends; you only need compatible 10G network ports — no extra connectors or tools are required.

Which specification should I match when choosing between available lengths or colours?

Select the length that fits your run — this model is the 2 ft Blue version — while keeping the 26 AWG stranded, pure bare copper, STP Cat6A 550 MHz construction constant.
