StarTech.com Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable - 6 Inch Shielded (STP) - Black for 10 GbE Networks

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

The StarTech.com C6ASPAT6INBK is a high-performance 6-inch shielded Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable 10 Gigabit network connections in professional environments. Constructed with 100% copper conductors and foil-shielded twisted pairs, this cable ensures minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) and system noise, making it ideal for server racks, patch panels, and in-rack connections. Its shielded design significantly reduces Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and maintains data integrity across high-speed networks, providing a secure and consistent connection for demanding applications. The cable's gold-plated connectors are engineered for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance and signal clarity. Snagless RJ45 connectors facilitate hassle-free installation by protecting the clips from damage during cable runs, while molded boots offer strain relief to prevent bending and damage at connector points. This cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 100W, thanks to UL-rated 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and compliance with IEEE 802.3bt standards, making it suitable for VoIP phones, security systems, and other PoE devices. Backed by a lifetime warranty, the StarTech.com Cat6a patch cable offers a reliable, organized, and high-quality solution for short-distance, high-speed networking needs in professional environments.

Features:

• QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: 50-micron gold-plated connectors for clear signal and corrosion resistance. Snagless design protects RJ45 clips during installation, enabling easy routing and disconnection.

• POE SUPPORT: 26 AWG stranded copper conductors with UL-rated wiring support up to 100W for PoE devices like VoIP phones and security systems. IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power compliance prevent cable overheating.

• HIGH-SPEED PERFORMANCE: Supports 10 GbE; 6-inch length; shielded twisted pair (STP) structure minimizes interference. Compatible with multi-speed 10Base-T/NBASE-T networks.

• PROTECT YOUR NETWORK: Shielded RJ45 connectors reduce Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), ensuring stable high-speed connections.

• CERTIFIED QUALITY: Individually tested to meet ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 Category 6 standards. ETL verified for high performance and reliability in demanding network environments.
