Ready for 10 Gigabit links

This 5 ft aqua cable is built to Cat 6a performance and shielded with aluminum-polyester foil so 10 Gb connections stay free of noise and EMI/RFI interference. The snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends protect the latch during frequent patching. It suits installers and network engineers who need a short, reliable drop for switches, servers or wall outlets.

Shielded Cat 6a construction

The cable uses 26 AWG stranded 100 percent copper conductors that carry a CMG fire rating and meet ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements. Foil shielding around each pair blocks external interference while the snagless boots prevent broken tabs in dense racks.

PoE-ready and colour-coded

Rated for 100 W Power over Ethernet, the cord can feed cameras, access points or VoIP phones without a separate power run. The aqua jacket makes the link easy to trace in crowded panels, and the UL-listed wire (E132276-A) confirms the materials meet safety standards.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean for my actual network speed?

The cable supports 10 Gbps throughput when connected to matching 10 GbE ports, giving full line-rate transfer without the EMI/RFI drops that unshielded cords allow

How does the Cat 6a shielded standard limit what I can plug it into?

RJ45 connectors on both ends fit any standard Ethernet jack; the ANSI/TIA-568-D Cat 6a rating guarantees 10 Gbps performance up to the full channel distance

What physical clearance do I need for the snagless boots and 5 ft length?

Snagless boots add minimal bulk so the plug seats in tight switch ports; the 5 ft PVC jacket routes easily around rack rails or desk grommets without kinking
