StarTech Cat6a 12 ft Shielded Cable

This StarTech Cat6a shielded patch cable delivers 10 Gigabit network connections over a 12 ft run. Aluminum-polyester foil shielding blocks EMI and RFI noise. The gray PVC jacket meets CMG fire rating for general-purpose indoor use. It is built for users who need reliable high-speed wired links.

Snagless RJ45 Connectors Simplify Routing

Snagless boots protect the RJ45 locking tabs during pulls through cable managers or tight pathways. Stranded 26 AWG copper conductors keep the cord flexible for desk or rack routing. Shielded plugs maintain grounding continuity when seated. Installers should verify the pathway bend radius suits stranded 26 AWG construction.

Consistent 10 Gbps Throughput Under Load

The cable is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6A requirements for sustained 10 Gbps performance. Foil shielding preserves signal integrity during continuous high-throughput transfers. UL-rated 100W PoE support carries power and data together without degradation. It serves runs where long-duration bandwidth stability matters more than short bursts.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering a 10 Gigabit connection after installation?

Verify the link speed in your operating system or switch management interface shows 10 Gbps, and run a throughput test to confirm sustained performance without errors.

What comes in the box and do I need any extra connectors or tools?

The package contains the 12 ft shielded Cat6a patch cord with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional connectors or tools are required for a standard Ethernet connection.

Which cable length and shielding should I choose for a 10GbE run up to 12 ft?

This 12 ft gray cable uses aluminum-polyester foil shielding and 26 AWG stranded copper, meeting ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6a requirements for 10 Gigabit speeds at this distance.
