StarTech.com Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable - Shielded (STP) - 20 ft., Blue

StarTech 20ft CAT6a Ethernet Cable - 10 Gigabit Category 6a Shielded Snagless 100W PoE Patch Cord - 10GbE Blue UL Certified Wiring/TIA

The StarTech.com C6ASPAT20BL is a high-performance 20-foot shielded Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable 10 Gigabit network connections. Constructed with 100% copper conductors and foil-shielded twisted pairs, this cable ensures minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) and system noise, delivering consistent and error-free data transfer. Its shielded RJ45 connectors further reduce near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and provide robust protection against external interference, making it suitable for environments with high EMI levels or sensitive data requirements. Ideal for connecting network hubs, wall jacks, and other devices over longer distances, this cable is perfect for office installations, data centers, or any setup requiring high-speed and secure network connectivity. The cable features a PVC jacket for durability and snagless connectors to facilitate easy installation in wiring conduits without damaging the clips or cable ends. The 50-micron gold-plated connectors offer excellent conductivity and resist corrosion, ensuring long-term performance and signal integrity. Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, this cable is compatible with PoE-enabled devices such as VoIP phones and security cameras, adhering to IEEE 802.3bt standards to prevent overheating. Backed by StarTech.com’s lifetime warranty, the C6ASPAT20BL combines quality construction with reliable performance, making it an excellent choice for demanding network environments. Whether you're upgrading your network or expanding coverage, this shielded Cat6a patch cable provides the speed, protection, and durability needed for modern network infrastructure.
