3ft (0.9m) Cat6a Snagless Shielded STP Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Aqua
3ft (0.9m) Aqua Cat6a Snagless Shielded STP patch cable for 10GBase-T equipment, featuring 26AWG stranded copper conductors
The C2G CG00742 is a 3 ft (0.9 m) Cat6a snagless shielded STP Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed 10GBase-T environments. This aqua-colored cable is engineered to protect network connections from noise and electromagnetic interference by utilizing a shielded STP construction. It is ideal for use with 10 Gigabit network equipment, including network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels. Each cable is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements, ensuring reliable performance for bandwidth-intensive voice, data, and video distribution applications. The design features 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors with FMPE (Foam Polyethylene) insulation to help maintain twist-spacing and minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels. This patch cable uses an RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male connector configuration with PVC boots and a snagless design to protect the termination point. It is rated for operating temperatures ranging from -4°F to 176°F (-20°C to 80°C).
