10 Gigabit shielded patch cable

This Cat6a shielded patch cable delivers 10 Gigabit network connections free of noise and EMI/RFI interference. It uses 26 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors with aluminum-polyester foil shielding. The PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose installation. Snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends simplify routing through tight spaces.

9 ft length for rack-to-device runs

At 9 ft the cable comfortably spans from a patch panel or switch to a desktop, server or wall plate within the same rack or cabinet. Longer runs to distant rooms or between floors will exceed this length and require a different cable. The shielded construction maintains signal integrity across the full 9 ft distance.

Snagless boots and PoE support

Snagless boots protect the connector latch during repeated insertion and removal, reducing the chance of a broken tab. The cable is rated for 100W Power over Ethernet, so it can carry both data and power to compatible access points, cameras or VoIP phones without a separate supply.

Questions about this item

Will the 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and shielded RJ45 plugs work reliably with my older Cat5e patch panel and 1 Gb switch?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 hardware, so the 26 AWG stranded copper and shielded RJ45 connectors will link at the highest speed both ends support.

How can I verify the 9 ft blue Cat6a cord is delivering a 10 Gigabit link free of EMI after I plug it in?

Check the switch or NIC LEDs for a 10 Gbps link indicator and run a cable certifier or throughput test; the CMG-rated jacket and aluminum-polyester foil shield are designed to suppress noise and interference.

Does the C6ASPAT9BL come with any extra couplers or keystone jacks, or is it just the single 9 ft shielded patch cord?

The box contains only the single 9 ft shielded Cat6a patch cable with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends; no couplers, keystones or additional accessories are included.
