Description

StarTech C6ASPAT6BK Cat6a Shielded Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT6BK is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable designed for environments where signal integrity is paramount. Its shielded construction protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring clean data transmission for critical network infrastructure like surveillance systems, data centers, and high-performance workstations. This cable is essential for deployments requiring stable 10Gbps speeds without data corruption from external noise sources.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, but its full 10Gbps performance is realized when paired with Cat6a-rated network devices, switches, and network interface cards (NICs). It is suitable for use with any network equipment requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, including but not limited to: StarTech's own line of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, high-speed network switches, and server infrastructure. For surveillance, it ensures reliable data flow for high-resolution IP cameras and NVRs operating at 10Gbps network speeds.

Installation Notes

The C6ASPAT6BK features a robust construction with a foil-shielded twisted-pair (F/UTP) design and a durable black PVC jacket. Ensure proper grounding of network equipment to maximize the effectiveness of the cable's shielding. Terminate with compatible Cat6a RJ45 connectors for optimal performance. The cable's flexibility allows for installation in conduits and cable trays without compromising signal integrity.
