Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Shielded Ethernet Cable 15 ft

This shielded Cat6a patch cord carries 10 Gbps data over a 15 ft (4.57 m) run. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during repeated insertions. The cable supports Power over Ethernet so compatible devices draw power through the same link. Blue jacket colour helps identify the run in a busy rack or patch panel.

Suited for 10GBase-T links between switches.

Builders who need longer reach than 15 ft or a different colour for cable management should choose another length. Installations that require unshielded UTP cable or a lower category such as Cat5e will not match this specification. The fixed 15 ft length cannot be adjusted on site.

500 MHz bandwidth rating

The cable is tested to 500 MHz, which is the figure that qualifies it for 10 Gbps operation over the full 15 ft distance. Lower-rated cables cannot guarantee that throughput.

Questions about this item

Does the 15 ft shielded Cat6a cable generate heat or draw extra power when carrying 10 Gbps traffic all day?

The cable is passive copper; it carries 10 Gbps signals and PoE current without active components, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw beyond the PoE load itself.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors and PoE support on this Cat6a patch cord?

You need 10GBase-T ports on both ends — such as a 10 Gbps switch, router or NIC — and a PoE-capable switch or injector if you want to power devices through the cable.

Will the 500 MHz Cat6a shielding work reliably when I plug it into my older Cat5e patch panel and Gigabit switch?

Yes; the cable is backward compatible and will negotiate Gigabit speeds on Cat5e hardware, while its STP construction still rejects EMI/RFI on the link.
