Cat6a 10 Gbps patch cable for PoE devices

This 30 ft Cat6a F/UTP cable is rated for 10 Gbps communications and certified for Power over Ethernet. Shielded construction dispels EMI and RFI line noise that can corrupt data. Snagless RJ45 male connectors on both ends protect the locking tabs during installation and removal. The blue jacket allows quick visual identification in dense racks or patch panels.

Suits installers running 10GBase-T links

Ideal for technicians who need a single cable to carry both 10 Gbps data and power to devices such as webcams and VoIP phones. The CMR-LP rating supports in-wall and riser routing where plenum is not required. Not suited for buyers who need longer runs beyond the supplied length, outdoor or direct-burial rated jackets, or unshielded UTP construction for simpler termination.

Verify connector compatibility

Confirm that both endpoints use standard RJ45 ports and that the 30 ft length reaches between your patch panel or switch and the powered device without tension. Ensure the pathway can accommodate the shielded F/UTP diameter and that local code accepts CMR-LP cable for the intended installation space.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 ports must my switch or server have to use this Cat6a F/UTP cable?

The cable terminates in standard RJ45 male connectors, so any device with a compatible RJ45 female jack — router, switch, server, patch panel or PoE injector — will accept it directly.

Will this 30 ft blue patch cord run at 10 Gbps when connected to older Cat5e or Cat6 ports?

Yes, the Cat6a F/UTP cable is backward compatible; it will link at the highest speed both ends support, so Cat5e ports negotiate 1 Gbps and Cat6 ports negotiate up to 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps depending on distance.

How can I verify the link is operating at the rated 10 Gbps after installation?

Check the port LEDs or management interface on each connected device — they should indicate a 10 Gbps link — and run a throughput test such as iperf3 to confirm sustained 10 Gbps performance.
