Description

Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS173V1521 Shielded Cat6a Patch Cable - 3ft Blue

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS173V1521 is a 3-foot, blue, shielded Cat6a patch cable designed to provide reliable, high-speed network connectivity for demanding environments. Its construction mitigates electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring data integrity for critical applications like surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks where signal quality is paramount. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as cameras, NVRs, switches, and servers where a short, robust link is required.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e standards but is optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) performance up to 100 meters. It is suitable for use with any network device featuring standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, including but not limited to IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and network video recorders (NVRs) and servers requiring reliable network uplinks.

Installation Notes

The shielded construction requires proper grounding at both ends to effectively dissipate EMI. Ensure that the RJ45 connectors are terminated into shielded patch panels or devices that support shielded connections to maintain the integrity of the shielding. For optimal performance and to prevent signal degradation, avoid bending the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius of approximately 4 times the cable diameter.
