STARTECH 7 ft Shielded Cat6a Patch Cable

This seven-foot shielded Cat6a patch cable carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet signals between two RJ-45 ports. The STP construction and full copper conductors suppress EMI and RFI noise in electrically noisy environments. It suits workstations, switches, or patch panels that need reliable 10 Gb links over short runs. Buyers who need longer permanent links or outdoor-rated jackets should look elsewhere.

Snagless RJ-45 Connectors With Molded Strain Relief

The molded boots protect the latch tab from catching during routing, while strain relief guards the solder points against bending stress. Simply push each connector until it clicks; no tooling is required. Installers who pull cables through tight conduit should verify the boot diameter fits their pathway before committing. The stranded 26 AWG conductors tolerate repeated flexing better than solid-core alternatives.

Category 6a Performance Limits

The cable is tested to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements and supports 10 Gb speeds up to the rated length. Shielding handles 100 W PoE loads without overheating the conductors. Beyond the specified distance, signal attenuation may degrade 10 Gb throughput, so longer permanent installations need solid-core cable rated for the full channel length.
