Compact 6-inch Cat6a patch cable

This 0.5 ft shielded Cat6a cable provides a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link between two RJ45 ports. The gray PVC jacket encloses aluminum-polyester foil shielding that blocks EMI and RFI noise. It is built with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors rated for 100 W PoE. The snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal.

Fits tight server and panel spaces

The six-inch length eliminates slack when connecting patch-panel ports, switch uplinks or device interfaces mounted side-by-side. Shielded twisted-pair construction keeps the signal clean in dense racks where unshielded cables would pick up interference. CMG fire rating allows installation in general-purpose building pathways. No extra grounding hardware is required beyond the shielded RJ45 connectors.

Ready for high-power PoE devices

The 100 W Power over Ethernet rating means the cable can feed cameras, access points or VoIP phones without a separate power run. ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 compliance confirms the channel meets the performance baseline for 10 Gbps operation. UL-listed wire (E132276-A) verifies the conductor material and insulation safety. The package contains only the single patch cord; no additional software or adapters are included.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.5 ft length reach between adjacent rack-mounted switches?

At six inches the cable only spans devices whose RJ45 ports sit side-by-side; measure the port-to-port gap before ordering.

Does the foil shielding and CMG jacket add noticeable heat or noise during continuous 10 Gigabit traffic?

The passive shielded construction has no active components, so it generates no noise and adds no measurable heat beyond the copper itself.

Are the snagless RJ45 plugs compatible with standard keystone jacks and patch panels?

Yes, both ends use standard RJ45 male connectors that fit any Cat6a-rated keystone, patch panel or switch port.
