StarTech Cat6a Shielded 5 ft Cable

This 5 ft gray patch cord is a Cat6a shielded Ethernet cable built with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and aluminum-polyester foil shielding. It uses snagless RJ45 male connectors on both ends and a CMG-rated PVC jacket. The cable is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements and supports 10 Gigabit data rates with 100W PoE capability.

Shielded Cat6a for Interference-Prone Runs

Suited for installers who need a short, shielded 10Gb link that resists EMI and RFI noise in dense cable trays or near power equipment. The 5 ft length limits use to adjacent rack units or desktop-to-switch connections. Buyers needing longer runs, unshielded UTP cables, or non-snagless boots should look at other cable types.

10 Gigabit Cat6a Rating Decides Fit

The decisive specification is the Cat6a 10 Gigabit rating combined with full foil shielding and CMG fire rating. If the installation requires 10Gb throughput over a shielded channel that meets general-purpose fire codes, this 5 ft assembly matches that requirement. If the network operates at lower speeds or runs through plenum spaces requiring CMP rating, a different cable class is needed.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 5 ft length or a longer run for my desk-to-switch link?

The 5 ft patch cord suits short rack or desk connections; select a longer Cat6a cable only if the distance exceeds five feet.

What does the 10 Gbit/s rating deliver when the cable is plugged into my workstation?

It supports a full 10 Gigabit Ethernet link up to 100 metres, provided both ends negotiate 10GBASE-T.

How does the RJ45 connector and CMG fire rating limit where I can install this cable?

The RJ45 plugs fit standard Ethernet ports and the CMG rating allows general-purpose indoor routing, but not plenum or riser spaces.
