Shielded Cat6a 10 Gigabit cable

This shielded Cat6a Ethernet cable is built for 10 Gigabit network connections. It uses S/FTP construction to protect against electromagnetic interference and noise. The aqua jacket helps identify cable runs in structured cabling environments. It suits installers who need dependable 10GBase-T performance.

Verify connector clearance and category match

Check that your switch, router or patch panel ports accept standard RJ45 connectors without clearance issues. Ensure the connected hardware supports 10GBase-T to use the full 500 MHz tested bandwidth. The snagless boots protect clips but add slight depth; confirm port spacing allows adjacent connections. This cable is not for buyers who need fibre or coaxial media.

Low heat passive operation

The cable draws no power and generates no heat or noise during normal operation. Shielding contains signal emissions without active components. Power draw is limited to the linked network devices themselves. There are no fans, pumps or moving parts to maintain.

Questions about this item

Does the 6 ft aqua Cat6a cable come with anything else or do I need to buy connectors separately?

The cable is supplied as a single 6 ft aqua Cat6a patch lead with RJ45 plugs already fitted on both ends, so no extra connectors or accessories are required.

When should I pick the 6 ft aqua version instead of another length or colour?

Choose the 6 ft aqua cable when the run between devices is roughly six feet and you want the aqua jacket to colour-code that link in your rack or desk setup.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean when the cable is installed in a 10GBase-T network?

A 500 MHz tested bandwidth means the shielded S/FTP construction supports the full 10 Gigabit signal over the 6 ft distance without the EMI issues that can degrade throughput.
