StarTech.com 6 in. CAT6a Ethernet Patch Cable - Shielded (STP) - 10GbE, Aqua (Part C6ASPAT6INAQ)

StarTech 6 in CAT6a Ethernet Cable - 10 Gigabit Category 6a Shielded Snagless 100W PoE Patch Cord - 10GbE Aqua UL Certified Wiring/TIA

This StarTech.com 6-inch CAT6a Ethernet patch cable is designed to deliver reliable high-speed network connections suitable for demanding environments. With its shielded twisted-pair construction, this cable effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring a stable 10Gbps data transfer for your critical network infrastructure. Ideal for short-distance applications such as server room patch panels, in-rack connections, or point-to-point links, this cable provides a clean and organized setup. Its aqua color makes it easy to identify and organize within multi-cable installations, especially when used in conjunction with other color-coded cables for network management.

Constructed with 100% copper conductors and foil shielding, this cable supports frequencies up to 500MHz, making it compatible with 10GBase-T Ethernet networks. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors optimize conductivity and resist oxidation, ensuring long-term performance. The snagless design of the connectors protects the clips during installation, reducing the risk of damage and simplifying cable runs. Molded boots provide strain relief at the connector termination points, preventing sharp bends that could compromise signal integrity or cause cable failure. Backed by a lifetime warranty from StarTech.com, this cable offers durability and reliability for mission-critical network environments.

Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE), the cable's UL-rated wiring and 26 AWG stranded copper conductors support up to 100W, making it suitable for PoE devices such as VoIP phones and security cameras. Its compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 standards and ETL certification guarantee high performance and adherence to industry specifications. Whether used in data centers, network closets, or professional installations, this shielded patch cable provides a robust solution for error-free, high-speed networking with maximum noise immunity and ease of installation.
