StarTech Cat6a Shielded 20 ft Cable

This StarTech Cat6a shielded patch cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over a 20 ft length. It uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors with aluminum-polyester foil shielding to block EMI and RFI. Snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends protect the locking tabs during installation and removal. The blue PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose indoor use.

500 MHz Bandwidth for 10 Gbps

The cable is tested to 500 MHz and complies with ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6a requirements, making it the decisive spec for 10 Gbps Ethernet links. Gold-plated contacts (50-micron) ensure low-resistance connections across the full 20 ft run. It supports 100W Power over Ethernet for devices such as access points and cameras. ETL verification confirms the materials and performance claims.

Sustained 10 Gbps Throughput Under Load

Shielded construction and 100% copper conductors maintain signal integrity during continuous high-throughput transfers, not just short bursts. The foil shield prevents external noise from degrading the link over the full 20 ft distance. Stranded 26 AWG wire resists fatigue from repeated flexing in patch-panel or desk-side deployments. CMG-rated jacket withstands typical indoor environmental stress without performance loss.

Questions about this item

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for actual 10 Gbps throughput on this cable?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports the full 10 Gbps data rate over the 20 ft length, meeting Category 6a performance requirements for high-speed Ethernet links.

How does the RJ45 connector and CMG fire rating limit where I can install this cable?

The RJ45 plugs fit standard Ethernet ports, while the CMG rating allows general-purpose in-wall runs but not plenum or riser spaces.

What clearance do the snagless boots and 26 AWG stranded conductors need behind a patch panel or switch?

The snagless boots add minimal depth beyond the RJ45 body, and the flexible 26 AWG stranded wire bends easily in tight racks or wall outlets.
