The Astrotek CAT6A Shielded Cable is a high-performance 3-meter Ethernet patch cord, engineered to support next-generation 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networks while maintaining compatibility with Gigabit and Fast Ethernet standards. Featuring Category 6a certification, this cable is built with 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and shielded twisted pair construction (S/FTP) to effectively reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring reliable and stable data transmission.

Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors equipped with gold-plated contacts and molded snagless strain relief boots, providing durable corrosion resistance and preventing connector damage during installation or removal. The sturdy PVC jacket in a grey/white color combination offers excellent protection against physical wear while maintaining flexibility.

Ideal for use in high-speed LAN environments including PCs, servers, routers, switches, NAS devices, VoIP phones, PoE devices, and video surveillance systems, this cable supports bandwidths up to 550 MHz and meets or exceeds TIA/EIA 568 standards for Cat6a performance.

Key benefits:

• Reliable 10GbE performance with superior noise immunity thanks to comprehensive shielding.


• Backward compatibility across various Ethernet standards.


• Robust gold-plated RJ45 connectors for long-lasting connections.


• Flexible yet durable PVC jacket suitable for both commercial and residential use.
