Description

StarTech C6ASPAT12AQ Shielded CAT6A Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT12AQ is a 12-foot shielded Category 6A (CAT6A) Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This cable is engineered to mitigate noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), making it suitable for demanding network environments where data integrity is paramount, such as connecting network-attached storage (NAS) devices, high-performance workstations, or surveillance NVRs.

Compatibility

This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks but is specifically designed to support the full 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It is compatible with any standard RJ45 network port found on routers, switches, servers, network interface cards (NICs), and other network-enabled devices. For optimal performance, it should be paired with other CAT6A-rated networking components.

Installation Notes

The cable features a shielded twisted-pair (STP) construction with an aluminum foil shield and a drain wire, terminated with RJ45 connectors. Ensure the shielding is properly grounded at both ends of the cable run to effectively dissipate EMI/RFI. For installations requiring compliance with specific network infrastructure standards, verify that the entire cabling system (including patch panels, bulk cable, and connectors) meets CAT6A specifications.
