Nlp Comprehensive CAT6A-100BLU 100 ft network ethernet cable

Shielded CAT6A Patch Cable for 10 GbE

This 100 ft blue cable is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 100 metre channel. A 24 AWG shielded twisted-pair construction pushes the bandwidth to 500 MHz, double the 250 MHz ceiling of standard Cat6. Alien crosstalk is characterised to 500 MHz for stable links in noisy environments. Gold-plated 50 µ contacts maintain low-resistance connections.

Installers needing guaranteed 10 GbE reach

The shielding and 500 MHz rating suit runs that must carry 10 GbE to the maximum distance. Buyers who only need 1 GbE over shorter links can use unshielded Cat6 at lower cost. Anyone requiring outdoor or direct-burial jackets should select a cable rated for that environment. Colour-coded installations needing a hue other than blue will need a different SKU.

500 MHz bandwidth with alien-crosstalk specification

The decisive figure is the 500 MHz bandwidth combined with Power-Sum Alien Crosstalk characterised to the same frequency. That specification confirms the cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet across the full 100 metre channel, which standard Cat6 at 250 MHz cannot guarantee. If the link only requires 1 GbE, the extra margin is unnecessary.
