Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s across its entire 1000-foot length, maintaining signal quality through its 550 MHz frequency range. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction combines individual foil shielding with an overall braided shield to protect against both EMI and RFI interference.
The 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide optimal conductivity and durability for permanent installations, while the gold-plated bare wire ends ensure reliable termination when paired with compatible connectors. Snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection during installation and maintenance.
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.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat6a cable?
This StarTech.com Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit per second) across its entire 1000-foot length. It maintains this high-speed performance through its 550 MHz frequency range, making it suitable for enterprise network backbones and high-bandwidth applications requiring reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this Cat6a cable fully supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide sufficient current-carrying capacity for PoE devices, while the S/FTP shielding helps maintain power delivery stability. This makes it suitable for connecting PoE switches to access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other powered network devices.
What does CMR rating mean for installation purposes?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Riser, a fire safety rating that certifies this cable for vertical installations between floors in building riser spaces. CMR-rated cables produce limited smoke and flame spread, making them compliant with building codes for runs through elevator shafts, vertical conduits, and other spaces that pass between floors. This rating is essential for commercial installations where fire safety compliance is required.
Why does this cable have bare wire ends instead of RJ45 connectors?
This cable comes with bare wire ends to provide maximum flexibility for professional installations. Bulk cable with bare ends allows network technicians to terminate the cable with exactly the connectors needed for each specific application—whether RJ45 plugs for patch cables, keystone jacks for wall plates, or direct termination into patch panels. This approach eliminates connector compatibility issues and enables custom-length cables without excess waste.
What are the advantages of S/FTP shielding compared to other shielding types?
S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding provides dual-layer protection for superior interference rejection. Each twisted pair has individual foil shielding that prevents crosstalk between pairs, while an overall braided shield protects against external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This combination ensures clean signal transmission in electrically noisy environments like industrial settings, data centers, or buildings with dense electronic equipment.
Is this cable compliant with TAA (Trade Agreements Act) requirements?
Yes, this StarTech.com Cat6a cable is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the sourcing requirements of the Trade Agreements Act for U.S. government purchases. The cable also complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives, ensuring it contains no prohibited hazardous materials and can be properly recycled at end of life.
