STARTECH C6ASPAT6AQ network ethernet cable 6 ft aqua shielded snagless RJ45 Cat6a

6 ft Cat6a Shielded Cable

This aqua-coloured patch cord uses RJ45 connectors on both ends to link network devices at up to 10 Gigabit speeds. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors are wrapped in aluminum-polyester foil to block EMI and RFI noise. A snagless boot protects the latch during repeated insertion and removal. It is built for installers who need reliable shielded runs in offices or data cabinets.

CMG Fire Rating Limits Use

The PVC jacket carries a CMG rating for general-purpose indoor installations only. It is not rated for plenum spaces, riser shafts or outdoor exposure where stricter fire codes apply. The foil shield must be grounded at both ends to achieve the stated interference rejection. Installers should verify local building regulations before routing this cable through air-handling areas.

10 Gigabit Speed Decides Fit

The cable is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6A requirements and supports 10 Gbps throughput over the full 6 ft length. Networks that operate at 1 Gbps or slower will not benefit from the extra headroom. Buyers who need longer runs, higher temperatures or plenum-rated jackets should select a different cable type.
