Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable operates at a 500MHz frequency range, ensuring stable performance for 10GBASE-T networks and backward compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards. The 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors maintain consistent electrical characteristics, while the four twisted pairs and eight total conductors are optimized for high-speed data and PoE applications.
Each cable is individually tested to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, guaranteeing Cat6a performance and reliability. The construction includes strain relief boots to protect the connector termination points and a flexible design that allows routing through tight spaces in racks, conduits, or cable management systems.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This shielded Cat6a patch cable combines high-speed data transfer with robust power delivery and enhanced safety features. The S/FTP shielding and gold-plated connectors ensure reliable performance in demanding network environments, while the LSZH jacket provides an added layer of safety for installations in enclosed spaces.
Enhanced EMI Protection
The S/FTP shielding with aluminum mylar foil and tinned copper braid significantly reduces electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity for 10 Gbps throughput even in areas with high electrical noise.
- Reduces near-end crosstalk (NEXT)
- Minimizes return loss (RL)
- Protects against external interference
PoE++ Ready
Supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 Power over Ethernet, delivering up to 100W of power to connected devices. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies for compatible endpoints.
- Powers IP cameras and access points
- Compatible with PoE switches
- Reduces installation complexity
Safety-First Construction
The LSZH jacket emits minimal smoke and toxic halogens if exposed to fire, making this cable suitable for installations in plenum spaces, data centers, and other areas where fire safety is a concern.
- Low smoke emission
- Zero halogen materials
- Flame retardant properties
Deployment / Use Cases
This 25-foot Cat6a shielded patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in commercial, industrial, and data center environments where both high-speed data transfer and power delivery are required. The green color provides visual differentiation for cable management and organization in multi-cable installations.
Common applications include linking switches to servers in rack-mounted configurations, connecting PoE++ devices like security cameras and wireless access points to network infrastructure, and establishing reliable connections for NAS devices and network modules. The cable's 25-foot length offers flexibility for installations where equipment separation exceeds typical patch cable distances.
Data Center Connectivity

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this Cat6a cable supports?
This StarTech.com Cat6a cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabits per second) across its entire 25-foot length. It operates at a 500MHz frequency range, which ensures stable performance for 10GBASE-T network deployments while maintaining backward compatibility with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards for lower-speed applications.
Does this Ethernet cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++) compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. It can deliver up to 100W of power to connected devices, making it suitable for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE++ compatible equipment without requiring separate power adapters or electrical wiring.
What type of shielding does this cable have and why is it important?
This cable features S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, which combines aluminum mylar foil with a tinned copper braid. This dual-layer shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), reducing near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss (RL) to maintain signal integrity for 10 Gbps throughput in electrically noisy environments like data centers or industrial settings.
What does LSZH jacket mean and where should I use this cable?
