1 ft Cat.6a STP patch cable

This 1 ft Cat.6a shielded twisted-pair cable carries RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for short patch links in racks, wall plates or desktop runs where 10 GbE performance is required. The aqua jacket provides quick visual identification in dense cable bundles. It suits installers and IT teams who need certified 10 GbE connectivity over copper.

Snagless shielded construction

Moulded snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. Full foil shielding around each pair and an overall braid suppress alien crosstalk and EMI in noisy environments. The RJ-45 contacts support Power over Ethernet so the same run can deliver data and power to compatible endpoints. The short length minimises excess slack in cabinet routing.

Verify port spacing and run length

Confirm that the 1 ft reach spans the distance between your two RJ-45 ports without tension. Ensure the connected equipment accepts Cat.6a shielded cables and that the grounding path for the shield is continuous through the patch panel or switch. Buyers needing longer horizontal runs or different colour coding for zone identification should select another length or jacket colour.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat6a STP interface support in practice?

The Cat6a shielded cable is rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over its 1 ft length.

What physical space and connector type does this 1 ft aqua cable need?

It uses RJ45 male plugs on both ends and requires standard RJ45 ports with enough clearance for the snagless boots.

How do I install this patch cable and what step is often missed?

Align the RJ45 plug tab with the port notch, push until it clicks, and verify the latch is fully seated to avoid intermittent links.
