Cat6a 10 Gbps certified link

This 14-foot shielded patch cable is built for 10 Gbps Ethernet runs where alien crosstalk must be suppressed. It suits installers wiring patch panels, switches or wall outlets in offices and data rooms that demand Cat6a performance. The blue jacket aids colour-coded cable management in dense racks. It is not for runs that exceed the length or for unshielded environments where STP grounding cannot be maintained.

Shielded construction with snagless boots

The STP foil and braid shield handles 10 Gbps signalling up to the rated distance while resisting EMI from power cables or fluorescent ballasts. Snagless boots protect the RJ45 locking tabs during repeated re-patching. Each unit is 100 % FLUKE tested and ETL/UL verified, and it supports IEEE 802.3af DTE power for PoE devices. Performance drops if the shield is not properly bonded at both ends.

Pre-terminated RJ45 male-to-male ends

Both connectors are factory crimped and tested, so the cable is ready to deploy without field termination tools or certification gear. The fixed 14-foot length eliminates on-site measuring and cutting but cannot be shortened or extended without losing the factory guarantee. No software, drivers or additional accessories are included in the package.

Questions about this item

Will this 14 ft Cat6a shielded cable work with my older Cat5e router and gigabit switch?

Yes, it is backward compatible with earlier 10BaseT generations, so it will link at the highest speed both devices support.

How can I verify the cable delivers 10 Gbps after I plug it in?

The cable is 100 % Fluke tested and 10G certified; check that your switch or NIC negotiates a 10 Gbps link and run a throughput test to confirm.

Does the N262-014-BL come with any couplers or wall plates, or is it just the patch cable?

The box contains only the 14 ft shielded patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends; no couplers, wall plates or tools are included.
