30 ft Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable

This 30 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable delivers high-performance 10 Gigabit network connections free of noise and EMI/RFI interference. It uses 26 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors. The aluminum-polyester foil shielding protects signal integrity across the full run. It is tested to comply with ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements.

Check connector clearance and cable routing

Verify that your switch, router, or patch panel ports accept standard RJ45 plugs and that the snagless boots will not interfere with adjacent connections. Ensure the 30 ft length suits the distance between your devices without excess slack that could create tension. Confirm your installation environment suits a CMG-rated PVC jacket for general-purpose indoor use.

Snagless boots and shielding improve durability

The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent tab damage during repeated insertion and removal. Shielded construction with aluminum-polyester foil reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference in noisy environments. The cable supports 100W Power over Ethernet for compatible devices. ETL verification and UL-rated wire (E132276-A) confirm compliance with safety and performance standards.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need any extra parts?

The box contains the 30 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends; no additional components are required for a standard Ethernet connection.

Should I choose this 30 ft length or a different size for my 10 Gigabit run?

At 30 ft this cable stays well within the 100 m channel limit for 10 Gbps Cat6a, so select this length when the distance between devices is roughly 9 m or less.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean once the cable is installed in my network?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports the full 10 Gbps data rate defined for Cat6a, so the link will carry 10 Gigabit Ethernet traffic without the crosstalk or EMI issues that limit lower-category cables.
