Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6a patch cable delivers 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates over distances up to 1 foot, ensuring high-speed connectivity for 10GbE networks. The shielded twisted pair (STP) design minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) and near-end crosstalk (NEXT), protecting signal quality in environments with electrical noise. The 26 AWG copper conductors support PoE applications up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt standards to prevent overheating.
The cable features molded snagless boots that facilitate easy installation and disconnection in crowded patch panels or conduits. Gold-plated connectors enhance conductivity and resist rust, while the PVC jacket provides strain relief and damage resistance. ETL verification confirms adherence to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D specifications for reliable performance.
Key Product Advantages

User Manual
FAQ
What is the data transfer speed of this CAT6a cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet), making it suitable for high-speed network applications such as data centers, servers, and demanding office environments. It is backward compatible with lower-speed standards like Gigabit Ethernet.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it supports PoE up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt standards. This allows it to power devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points while transmitting data, reducing the need for separate power cables.
What does 'snagless' mean for the connectors?
Snagless connectors have molded boots that prevent the retention clip from catching on other cables or equipment during installation or removal. This feature makes it easier to manage cables in crowded patch panels and reduces the risk of damage.
Is this cable shielded, and why is that important?
Yes, it is a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. Shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can degrade signal quality in environments with electrical noise, ensuring more reliable data transmission.
What is the warranty for this patch cable?
This cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty from StarTech.com, providing long-term assurance against defects in materials and workmanship. It reflects the product's durable construction and quality standards.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
It is compatible with a wide range of network devices, including switches, hubs, routers, patch panels, computers, and print servers. The RJ45 male connectors are standard for Ethernet connections in most networking equipment.
