Ideal for 10 Gigabit patching

This Cat6a shielded patch cable delivers 10 Gigabit network connections free of noise and EMI/RFI interference. It suits standard applications such as linking a wall jack to a laptop docking station or desktop computer. The 6 ft gray cord uses 26 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors with aluminum-polyester foil shielding.

Verify port and run length

Confirm both endpoints accept RJ45 connectors and that a 6 ft run reaches between your wall jack and device without tension. The cable is CMG rated for general-purpose indoor use and carries a UL rating (E132276-A). Ensure your switch or NIC supports 10GBase-T to utilise the full 500 MHz bandwidth.

Fits structured 10GBase-T cabling

Snagless boots protect the RJ45 tabs during routing through cable managers or trunking. Foil shielding keeps data signals clean in EMI-prone environments while the PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements. The cord supports 100W PoE, freeing a separate power feed for compatible access points or cameras.

50-micron gold contacts resist corrosion

Gold-plated contacts on each RJ45 plug resist corrosion for long-term signal integrity. The cable is tested to comply with ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements at up to 500 MHz frequency. It provides a reliable physical layer for 10GBase-T Ethernet networks in offices or server rooms.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to use this cable?

The box contains the 6 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. No additional parts are required for a standard network connection.

How do I decide which length or colour version of this Cat6a cable to choose?

Select the 6 ft gray version when the run between your wall jack and device is short; other lengths and colours are offered separately for longer runs or colour-coded installations.

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean when the cable is installed in a real network?

The cable is tested to 500 MHz and built with 26 AWG 100 % copper conductors plus foil shielding, so it reliably supports 10GBase-T Ethernet up to its full length.
