Shielded Cat6a 15 ft Cable

This 15 ft shielded Cat6a patch cord delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet performance for workstations, servers and network switches. The aluminium-polyester foil shield blocks EMI and RFI so the signal stays clean in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion for a reliable connection every time.

Low-Smoke Jacket and Snagless Boot

A CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements while the snagless boot protects the latch during frequent moves. Stranded 26 AWG 100 % copper conductors keep the cable flexible for routing around racks or under desks without kinking. The construction supports up to 100 W Power over Ethernet for cameras, access points or VoIP phones.

Sustained 500 MHz Throughput

ETL verification confirms the cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 performance at 500 MHz bandwidth across the full 15 ft length. Shielding and conductor quality maintain low attenuation and crosstalk during continuous 10 Gbps transfers, not just short bursts. The cord is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How do I install the RJ45 connectors on this 15 ft shielded Cat6a cable without damaging the snagless boots?

Align the RJ45 plug with the port, press straight in until the snagless boot clicks, and avoid twisting the 26 AWG stranded copper conductors which can loosen the 50-micron gold contacts.

What maintenance or replacement will this aluminum-foil shielded patch cord need over its lifetime?

Inspect the CMG-rated PVC jacket for cracks and the snagless boots for deformation; replace the cord if the foil shield is kinked or the gold-plated contacts show corrosion.

At what point does the 500 MHz bandwidth limit appear first during sustained 10 Gbps PoE loads?

The 100 W PoE current heats the 26 AWG conductors, so the 500 MHz / 10 Gbps margin drops first when cable temperature rises above the CMG rating during continuous high-power transmission.
