Technical Overview
This CAT6a patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, providing certified performance for 10GbE networks up to 100 meters. The shielded twisted pair (STP) construction minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), ensuring stable connections in electrically noisy environments.
The cable supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE standards, delivering up to 100W of power to compatible devices without overheating. With 50-micron gold-plated contacts and molded strain relief, it maintains signal clarity and physical durability through repeated insertions and removals.
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

Interference Protection
The shielded RJ45 connectors and STP construction reduce electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk, maintaining signal integrity in dense network environments.
- Minimizes NEXT
- Protects against EMI/RFI
- Ensures stable 10GbE performance
PoE Compatibility
UL-rated wiring supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE standards, delivering up to 100W for powering devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without separate power cables.
- Supports up to 100W
- IEEE 802.3bt compliant
- Prevents cable heating
Deployment / Use Cases
This 2-foot CAT6a patch cable is ideal for short-run connections in data centers, office networks, and home setups where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. Its compact length makes it perfect for connecting devices in rack-mounted environments or between closely positioned equipment.
Common applications include linking switches to patch panels, connecting routers to modems, powering PoE security cameras, and establishing connections for VoIP systems. The gray color allows for easy cable management and identification in multi-cable installations.
Data Center Use
Perfect for high-density server racks and network switches where short, reliable connections are needed for 10GbE equipment.
PoE Device Connectivity
Delivers both data and power to PoE-enabled devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security systems from a single cable run.
Physical Profile
This cable features a flexible gray CMG jacket that resists damage and maintains flexibility in tight spaces. With an approximate weight of 1.10 oz (31.18 g), it adds minimal bulk to cable management systems while providing durable protection for the internal conductors.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.10 oz (31.18 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this CAT6a cable?
This CAT6a Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GbE), making it suitable for high-speed network applications including data centers, server connections, and bandwidth-intensive workstations. It maintains this performance up to 100 meters when installed according to standards.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt standards. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL-rated wiring enable safe power delivery to PoE devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without separate power cables.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this Ethernet cable?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ45 connector that prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal. This feature reduces accidental disconnections and damage in crowded wiring environments like patch panels and network racks.
Is this cable shielded against interference?
