7ft (2.1m) Cat6a Snagless Shielded STP Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Aqua
7ft Cat6a Snagless Shielded STP patch cable, 26AWG stranded copper, Aqua finish, for 10GBase-T networking
The C2G CG00746 is a 7 ft (2.1 m) Cat6a Snagless Shielded STP Ethernet patch cable designed to support bandwidth-intensive 10GBase-T applications. This aqua-colored cable is built to protect high-speed 10 Gigabit network connections from electromagnetic interference and noise through its shielded STP construction. It is suitable for use with network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels. Each cable features 26AWG bare copper stranded conductors and FMPE (Foam Polyethylene) insulation to help maintain twist-spacing through the termination point. This design is engineered to minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels and reduce both impedance and structural return loss (SRL). This specific SKU is fully tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements. For ease of identification in complex installations, each individual cable includes a length label.
