12 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable

This 12 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and aluminum-polyester foil shielding to deliver 10 Gigabit network connections free of EMI and RFI interference. The CMG-rated PVC jacket and snagless RJ45 connectors suit general-purpose indoor runs. It is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements and supports 100W PoE.

Replaces unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 links

The jump is worth it when 10 Gbps throughput is needed over 12 ft and the environment has electrical noise that degrades unshielded cables. Shielding and tighter Category 6a tolerances keep signal integrity where older unshielded cords drop packets. It does not suit buyers who need longer runs or outdoor-rated jackets beyond the CMG rating.

Snagless RJ45 ends simplify routing

The snagless boots protect the locking tabs while pulling through cable managers or tight pathways. Stranded 26 AWG conductors flex easily around corners without kinking. The only common issue is exceeding the 12 ft length when a longer drop is required, so measure the path before ordering.

Questions about this item

What connector type does the 12 ft Cat6a cable use for each end?

Both ends use RJ45 connectors that plug directly into standard Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports on switches, routers, servers and network cards.

How do I install the cable without damaging the snagless boots?

Press the RJ45 plug straight into the port until the latch clicks; the snagless boot slides over the latch so it cannot catch on adjacent cables when you pull the cord later.

When should I consider replacing this shielded patch cord?

Replace it if the PVC jacket shows cuts or kinks, the foil shield is exposed, or the RJ45 latch no longer holds the plug firmly in the port.
