Astrotek CAT6A Shielded Ethernet Cable (3m, Blue)

Experience reliable, high-speed networking with the Astrotek CAT6A shielded snagless patch cable, engineered to support next-generation 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications. This 3-meter cable features premium 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors encased in S/FTP (screened foiled twisted pair) shielding with an overall AL-MG braided shield, effectively reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk for stable and fast data transmission.

The cable is equipped with 8P8C (RJ45) connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for superior connectivity and corrosion resistance. Its snagless design prevents connector damage and cable snags during installation. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces by minimizing toxic smoke emissions in the event of fire, although some listings note PVC variants.

Widely compatible, this cable is ideal for networking devices such as PCs, servers, routers, switches, NAS devices, VoIP phones, and PoE-enabled equipment. It supports bandwidths up to 550 MHz and is backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, adhering to TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standards.

Ideal for both professional and home networking setups, the Astrotek CAT6A 3m patch cable ensures quick, dependable connections with enhanced shielding and durability.
