  • 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors ensure reliable signal over 100 ft

100ft CAT6a Shielded Patch Cable

This 100ft blue CAT6a patch cable uses 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors with S/FTP shielding and a LSZH jacket. It terminates in snagless RJ45 connectors fitted with strain reliefs. The construction supports 10GbE transmission and carries up to 100W PoE++. It is rated for 500MHz bandwidth.

Suited for 10GbE runs and high-power PoE

The shielded design and 500MHz rating make this cable appropriate for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and Power over Ethernet installations requiring up to 100W. Buyers needing a shorter patch lead or an unshielded UTP cable for simpler desktop connections should consider a different specification.

Verify connector spacing and pathway rating

Confirm the 100ft length reaches between your switch and device without excess tension on the RJ45 plugs. Ensure the LSZH jacket meets the fire-safety requirements for the intended installation pathway. Check that the S/FTP shielding can be correctly grounded at the patch panel or switch end.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 devices do I need at each end to use this 100ft Cat6a cable?

Connect the snagless RJ45 plugs to any two RJ45 ports — a router, switch, PC, NAS or PoE++ device — and the link will negotiate up to 10GbE at 500MHz.

Will this 27AWG shielded cable work with my older Cat5e patch panel and gigabit switch?

Yes. The S/FTP construction and RJ45 connectors are fully backward compatible, so the cable will run at gigabit speeds on legacy Cat5e hardware while still supporting PoE++.

How can I verify the 500MHz bandwidth and 10GbE throughput after installation?

Run a cable certifier or a 10GbE iperf test between the two connected devices; a clean pass at 500MHz and sustained 10Gbps confirms the cable is performing to spec.
