Cat6a 10 Gbps shielded patch cord

This 15 ft black Cat6a STP cable carries 10 Gbps Ethernet over a 500 MHz bandwidth. Shielded twisted-pair construction and snagless RJ45 plugs protect signal integrity in a 10GBase-T network. Power over Ethernet support lets compatible devices draw power through the same link.

Installers needing certified 10 Gbps runs

The shielded design suits rack-to-switch or switch-to-patch-panel links where electrical noise is a concern. PoE capability powers access points or cameras without extra adapters. Buyers who only need 1 Gbps speeds or unshielded cabling for short desktop patches should consider a lower-category cable.

500 MHz bandwidth rating decides 10 Gbps reach

At 500 MHz the cable meets Cat6a specifications for 10 Gbps transmission up to the full 100 m channel length. A lower bandwidth rating would limit 10 Gbps reliability, so this figure confirms the cord is fit for high-speed 10GBase-T deployments.
