Technical Overview
This CAT6a patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, with ETL verification confirming compliance. The 26 AWG stranded copper construction provides optimal conductivity for both data transmission and PoE applications, while the shielded twisted pair (STP) design minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI).
The cable features molded strain relief boots that protect connector joints from damage during frequent insertion and removal cycles. With 50-micron gold plating on all contacts, the connectors maintain reliable electrical connections while resisting corrosion and oxidation over time.
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

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6a cable?
This StarTech.com CAT6a Ethernet patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GbE). It is engineered to maintain this speed across the full 35-foot length while meeting ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for Category 6a performance.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) are designed to handle IEEE 802.3bt PoE standards, making it suitable for powering VoIP phones, security cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices without separate power cables.
What are the benefits of the shielded (STP) construction?
The shielded twisted pair (STP) construction provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and ensures reliable 10GbE performance in electrically noisy environments such as data centers, industrial settings, or areas with many adjacent cables.
What does 'snagless' mean for the connectors?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot that prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables, patch panel openings, or cable management systems during installation or removal. This design reduces the risk of accidental disconnection and connector damage while making it easier to route cables through crowded wiring conduits.
What environmental certifications does this cable have?
This cable is EU RoHS compliant and meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) 2 standards. It also complies with Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) requirements, ensuring environmentally responsible manufacturing and disposal.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet patch cable?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of network equipment including docking stations, network devices, notebooks, desktop computers, hubs, switches, routers, print servers, patch panels, PoE-enabled devices, and VoIP equipment.
