Ready-to-run 10 Gb link

This Cat6a shielded patch cord delivers a 10 Gb connection straight from the box. The 4 ft gray cable uses stranded 26 AWG copper conductors and aluminum-polyester foil shielding to suppress EMI and RFI. Snagless RJ45 plugs protect the latch during frequent moves. It is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements and carries a CMG fire rating for general-purpose installs.

Verify port speed and cable run

Confirm that both ends of your link — switch, router, server or workstation — negotiate 10 Gb operation so the cable can perform at its rated speed. The fixed 4 ft length suits rack-adjacent or desktop connections; measure the path before ordering to avoid tension or slack. The CMG jacket is rated for in-wall use only where local code permits, not for plenum or riser spaces.

Low heat and silent by design

Passive copper construction adds no fan noise and draws no power of its own. The stranded conductors and foil shield run cool during sustained 10 Gb throughput and 100 W PoE delivery. Heat and acoustic impact are limited to the active ports on your switching gear.

Questions about this item

Does the 4 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable include both RJ-45 connectors or do I need to buy them separately?

The cable arrives with two RJ-45 male connectors already crimped on, so no extra plugs are required.

When should I choose this 4 ft gray version instead of a longer or differently coloured Cat6a cable?

Pick the 4 ft gray model when the run between devices is short and you want a neutral colour that blends with typical rack or desk setups.

What does the 10 Gbit/s rating mean when the cable is installed in my network?

It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to the full 100 m channel distance defined by the ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6A standard.
