STARTECH NLBL15FCAT6APATCH 15ft Cat6a S/FTP network ethernet cable

SKU CH-6WEM-6PZ8E MPN NLBL15FCAT6APATCH

Shielded 15 ft Cat6a cable tested to 500 MHz for 10 Gbps Ethernet with snagless molded RJ45 connectors

  • Shielded S/FTP construction blocks EMI/RFI for reliable 10 Gigabit speeds
  • Tested to 500 MHz bandwidth supports 10GBase-T network performance
  • Snagless molded RJ45 connectors protect clips from damage during installation
  • 15 foot length provides flexible reach for workstation or patch panel runs
  • Blue jacket colour simplifies cable identification in structured wiring systems

Shielded Cat6a cable for 10 Gigabit networks

This 15 ft shielded Cat6a S/FTP cable is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 500 MHz. The double shielding blocks electromagnetic interference and radio-frequency noise to keep throughput stable. It suits installers who need reliable 10GBase-T runs in electrically noisy environments. Buyers needing longer unrepeatered spans or outdoor-rated jackets should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive copper cable it generates no heat, emits no sound and draws no power during normal operation. The shield simply conducts interference to ground without active components. There are no fans, pumps or semiconductors to consider. The only thermal factor is ambient temperature affecting the jacket material.

Snagless molded connectors and daily handling

Both ends carry snagless, molded RJ45 plugs that protect the locking tabs from bending or breaking during routing. The strain-relief molding reduces stress at the connector junction when cables are pulled through trunking or tight bends. The blue jacket aids quick visual identification in dense patch panels. The fixed 15 ft length cannot be shortened or extended without re-termination.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 15ft Cat6a S/FTP cable without damaging the snagless RJ45 connectors?

Press the RJ45 plugs straight into each port until the snagless tab clicks; do not force the boot at an angle or pull by the cable jacket.

What maintenance or replacement will the shielded Cat6a cable need over time?

Inspect the molded boots and foil shield for kinks or crushed sections; replace the cable if the shielding is torn or the snagless tabs no longer latch.

At what frequency limit does the 500 MHz tested cable show signal degradation under sustained 10 Gigabit loads?

The cable is tested to 500 MHz; sustained 10GBase-T traffic near that bandwidth ceiling will reveal insertion-loss limits first.
