International Connectors and Cable ICPCSX07BK CAT6A Patch Cord

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICPCSX07BK is a 7-foot, CAT6A U/FTP patch cord designed for high-density network installations where cable management and signal integrity are critical. Featuring individual pair shielding (U/FTP) and a snag-free strain relief boot, this cord minimizes crosstalk and prevents damage during installation and moves, adds, or changes. The low-profile connector design is beneficial in crowded patch panel environments. This pack contains 10 individual black cords, suitable for structured cabling deployments in enterprise data centers, server rooms, and commercial AV systems.

Compatibility

This CAT6A U/FTP patch cord is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that utilize standard RJ45 connectors. The U/FTP construction is particularly beneficial when deploying in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) or when running alongside power cables, ensuring cleaner signal transmission compared to standard UTP cables.

Installation Notes

The snag-free strain relief boot prevents connector damage and simplifies cable routing in tight spaces. The low-profile connector design allows for higher port density in patch panels and network switches. Ensure proper cable management practices are followed to maintain signal integrity and prevent kinks, which can degrade performance, especially at 10Gbps speeds.
