StarTech.com C6ASPAT8GR Shielded Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable - 8 ft. Gray for 10Gb Networks

StarTech.com 8ft CAT6a Ethernet Cable - 10 Gigabit Category 6a Shielded Snagless 100W PoE Patch Cord - 10GbE Gray UL Certified Wiring/TIA

Ensure reliable high-speed network connectivity with the StarTech.com C6ASPAT8GR shielded Cat6a Ethernet patch cable. Designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connections, this 8-foot gray cable is ideal for connecting wall jacks to desktops, laptops, or docking stations in environments demanding high data throughput and minimal interference. Its shielded twisted-pair construction provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), maintaining signal integrity in noisy settings. The cable is tested up to 500MHz frequency, making it suitable for demanding network applications and future-proofing your infrastructure. Constructed with 100% copper conductors and foil shielding, the cable delivers consistent, error-free data transmission, ensuring your network operates smoothly and efficiently.

The cable features high-quality 50-micron gold-plated connectors that offer superior conductivity while preventing oxidation and corrosion over time. Snagless RJ45 connectors simplify installation by protecting the clips during cable runs, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring a secure connection. Molded boots on each connector provide strain relief, preventing sharp bending at termination points that could compromise performance or damage the cable. With support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), including IEEE 802.3bt standards, the cable can deliver up to 100W of power, making it suitable for VoIP phones, security cameras, and other PoE-enabled devices. The 26 AWG stranded copper wires further enhance PoE support and overall performance.

Manufactured with environmentally friendly PVC jacket material, this cable complies with REACH standards and is backed by a lifetime warranty from StarTech.com. Its robust construction and comprehensive shielding make it an excellent choice for high-demand networks requiring durability, flexibility, and interference protection. Whether for office, data center, or home use, this shielded Cat6a patch cable ensures your network remains stable, fast, and secure, with easy installation and long-term reliability.
