STARTECH C6ASPAT2BK network ethernet cable Cat6a shielded 2 ft black snagless RJ45

Two-foot Cat6a shielded patch cable

This two-foot Cat6a shielded patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and aluminium-polyester foil shielding to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. The black PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose installation and the snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during frequent moves. It is built for installers and IT teams who need a short, reliable link in dense racks or at the desk. ||

Check connector spacing and cable routing

Verify that the 2 ft length reaches between your switch port and the target device without tension or sharp bends. Confirm the equipment uses standard RJ45 ports and that the shielding can be grounded at the patch panel or switch side. The cable is rated for 100 W PoE, so ensure the connected ports support the required power class if you plan to run high-power devices. ||

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput with EMI protection

Under continuous load the foil shield maintains signal integrity by rejecting EMI and RFI that would otherwise degrade a 10 Gbps stream. The stranded 26 AWG conductors resist fatigue from vibration or repeated re-patching, keeping attenuation stable over time. CMG-rated PVC meets commercial fire-safety requirements for permanent runs in walls or ceilings. ||
