Cat6a Shielded 2 ft Cable

This StarTech.com Cat6a patch cable provides a 2 ft shielded link for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses RJ45 connectors on both ends and a blue PVC jacket rated CMG for general-purpose runs. The construction suits workstations, switches or patch panels needing a short, certified drop.

Shielded Foil & Snagless Design

An aluminum-polyester foil wrap blocks EMI and RFI noise that can degrade high-speed signals. Snagless boots protect the RJ45 locking tabs during insertion and removal. The cable uses 26 AWG stranded 100 percent copper conductors with a UL listing E132276.

100 W PoE & ANSI/TIA-568-D Compliance

The assembly supports 100 W Power over Ethernet for devices such as wireless access points or cameras. It is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements for reliable 10 Gbps throughput. Buyers needing longer runs or a different jacket rating should select another length or specification.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the snagless RJ45 plugs on this 2 ft Cat6a shielded cable without damaging the latch?

Press the snagless boot down while inserting each RJ45 connector into the port until it clicks; the boot protects the latch from catching on adjacent cables during removal.

What should I check on the aluminum-polyester foil shield and CMG-rated PVC jacket over time?

Inspect the foil shield for kinks and the CMG-rated PVC jacket for cracks after any tight bends; replace the cord if the shield is creased or the jacket splits.

What limits the 10 Gigabit throughput on this 26 AWG stranded copper cable during sustained 100 W PoE use?

The 26 AWG stranded conductors set the current-carrying limit; sustained 100 W PoE can heat the cores, so keep runs short and avoid bundling tightly with other power cables.
