10 ft Cat6a Shielded Cable

This 10 ft Cat6a shielded cable is built for installers and network technicians who need dependable 10 Gigabit links up to 500 MHz. The blue PVC jacket covers aluminum-polyester foil with tinned copper braid around 26 AWG stranded copper conductors. It is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements and rated for 100 W PoE.

Suited for PoE and high-EMI runs

The shielded construction and 100 W PoE rating make it a fit for access points, cameras and switches that draw power over the data pairs. Buyers who need longer unrepeated runs, outdoor-rated jackets or a different connector style should look at other cable types.

500 MHz bandwidth decides the fit

The 500 MHz verified bandwidth is the specification that determines whether this cable meets the channel performance target for 10 GbE at this length. If the design calls for a lower frequency class, an unshielded Category 6 cable may be sufficient.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 10 ft length or a different size for my desk setup?

The 10 ft length gives enough slack for most desk-to-switch runs without excess cable coiled on the floor.

What does the 500 MHz rating actually deliver when the cable is plugged in?

It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full 10 ft distance, doubling the bandwidth headroom of standard Category 6.

How does the shielded design and 26 AWG stranded copper affect PoE performance?

The aluminum-polyester foil with tinned copper braid blocks EMI while the 26 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors carry up to 100W PoE reliably.
