Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6a patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards and is ETL verified for performance reliability. It features four twisted pairs of 100% stranded copper conductors (27 AWG) with individual foil shielding and an overall braided shield (S/FTP construction) to minimize crosstalk and external interference.
The cable supports multi-gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 10 Gbps over its full 1-foot length and maintains backward compatibility with CAT6, CAT5e, and earlier standards. Its 500 MHz bandwidth ensures stable performance for high-throughput applications.
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 cable combines premium construction with practical features for professional networking environments. The LSZH jacket produces less dense, less corrosive smoke than PVC alternatives in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where fire safety is a concern.
Enhanced Durability
The braided construction and molded strain reliefs protect against bending damage and connector strain, extending the cable's service life in high-traffic areas.
- Snagless boot design
- Molded strain reliefs
- Braided outer covering
Superior Shielding
S/FTP shielding provides comprehensive protection against both electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) for clean signal transmission.
- Individual pair foil shielding
- Overall braided shield
- Shielded RJ45 connectors
Deployment / Use Cases
This short patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in rack-mounted configurations, data centers, office networking closets, and other environments where minimal cable length is required between adjacent devices.
The 100W PoE++ support makes it suitable for powering high-demand devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and IoT equipment while simultaneously transmitting data. The white color blends well with light-colored equipment and cable management systems.
Rack & Data Center Use
Perfect for connecting switches, routers, and servers within the same rack or adjacent equipment, minimizing cable clutter while maintaining 10GbE performance.
PoE-Powered Installations
Delivers both data and up to 100W of power to compatible devices, eliminating the need for separate power cables in PoE++ deployments.
Physical Profile
This compact 1-foot cable features a slim white LSZH jacket that remains flexible in tight spaces. The snagless RJ45 connectors have a low-profile design that clears adjacent ports on densely populated network equipment. The lightweight construction (0.70 oz) reduces stress on ports while the strain reliefs prevent cable damage at connection points.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed this CAT6a cable supports?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet) over its full 1-foot length. It maintains backward compatibility with lower-speed standards including 2.5GbE, 5GbE, 1GbE, and Fast Ethernet, making it suitable for multi-gigabit network environments.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE++), compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 and lower standards. It can deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power cables.
What does S/FTP shielding mean for this cable?
S/FTP stands for Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair. This cable has individual foil shielding around each twisted pair of conductors, plus an overall braided shield around all pairs. This dual-layer shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) for clean signal transmission in electrically noisy environments.
What are the benefits of the LSZH jacket?
The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket produces less dense smoke and fewer corrosive gases than traditional PVC jackets in case of fire. This makes the cable suitable for installations where fire safety is a concern, such as data centers, office buildings, and public spaces. The jacket also resists damage from bending and maintains flexibility.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and reliable connectivity. The connectors have snagless boots that prevent catching on adjacent ports during installation and removal, and include molded strain reliefs to protect the cable termination points.
Is this cable tested and certified for performance?
Yes, each cable is individually tested to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for Category 6a performance and is ETL verified. This ensures reliable operation at the specified 10 Gbps speed and 500 MHz bandwidth. The cable also complies with RoHS and WEEE environmental directives.
