Orange shielded Ethernet cable with snagless RJ45 connectors

STARTECH

STARTECH 7ft Orange CAT6a Network Ethernet Cable

SKU CH-SHAX-P6WXE

A 7 ft orange Cat6a cable with S/FTP shielding, 27 AWG pure copper conductors, and snagless RJ45 plugs rated for 10 Gbps at 500 MHz and 100 W PoE

  • Snagless boots protect the latch during frequent patching
  • S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk for reliable 10 Gbps links
  • Pure bare copper conductors meet 500 MHz CAT6a performance
  • LSZH jacket emits minimal smoke in fire-risk areas
  • 100 W PoE support powers devices over the same run

Ready for 10 Gbps links

This 7 ft orange CAT6a cable is built for 10 GBASE-T networks and Power over Ethernet installations up to 100 W. The S/FTP shielded construction and 500 MHz rating suit installers who need reliable throughput in dense cable trays or near electrical equipment.

Practical limits of the standard

CAT6a supports 10 Gbps only up to the full 100 m channel length; shorter runs like this 7 ft patch cord stay well within that envelope. The 27 AWG conductors keep the cord flexible for patch-panel work while the LSZH jacket meets low-smoke requirements in plenum or riser spaces.

Build quality and daily use

Snagless RJ45 boots protect the latch during repeated unplugging, and the pure bare copper conductors resist oxidation better than copper-clad alternatives. The double-shielded S/FTP design reduces alien crosstalk in bundled runs, while the LSZH sheath emits minimal halogen fumes if exposed to fire.

Questions about this item

Which length and colour combination suits my patch-panel run?

The cable is a 7 ft orange run, so you can match the exact distance and colour code you need without buying extra slack.

What does the 10 Gbps rating deliver when the cord is plugged into a 10GBASE-T switch?

It carries the full 10 Gbps signal at 500 MHz bandwidth, letting a 10GBASE-T link run at line rate over the 7 ft span.

How does the S/FTP shielding and 27 AWG conductors affect PoE and signal integrity?

The double shield blocks alien crosstalk while the 27 AWG pure copper cores handle 100 W PoE without excess voltage drop.
