Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network backbones, server connections, and bandwidth-intensive applications. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability for frequent handling in patch panel environments.
The cable's shielding design minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and protects against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable performance in electrically noisy environments. The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection and reduces strain on the connector during installation and maintenance.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat6a cable?
This Tripp Lite Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second). This makes it suitable for high-speed network applications including server connections, network backbones, and bandwidth-intensive tasks that require reliable, high-throughput connectivity.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this cable is fully compatible with both PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) standards. It can deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other network equipment through a single cable connection.
What type of shielding does this network cable have?
This is an STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable with full shielding protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). The shielding helps maintain signal clarity and prevents disruptions in electrically noisy environments, ensuring consistent network performance.
What devices can I connect with this patch cable?
This cable works with a wide range of network equipment including network devices, servers, switches, routers, hubs, printers, computers, photocopiers, modems, PoE devices, patch panels, security cameras, VoIP devices, access control devices, and power supplies. Both ends feature standard RJ-45 male connectors for universal compatibility.
What is the jacket rating and why is it important?
The cable has a CM-rated PVC jacket, which indicates it meets flame-retardant requirements for commercial installations. CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating ensures the cable is suitable for use in plenum spaces and other commercial environments where fire safety standards must be maintained.
What warranty comes with this Tripp Lite network cable?
This Tripp Lite Cat6a patch cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This provides long-term assurance of the cable's quality and durability, supporting reliable network connectivity over extended periods of use in business and enterprise environments.
