Astrotek CAT6A Shielded Ethernet Cable (5m) is a premium network patch cable designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) applications. This Cat6a cable supports bandwidths up to 550 MHz, ensuring smooth data transfer for demanding environments such as cloud computing, HD/4K video streaming, and server connectivity.

Constructed with 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors, the cable features S/FTP shielding—an overall AL-MG braided shield combined with foil shielding around twisted pairs—to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. The RJ45 connectors are gold-plated with 8P/8C configuration, providing corrosion resistance and stable signal transmission. A snagless design with molded strain-relief boots protects connectors during installation and everyday use.

The cable's jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), offering reduced hazardous fumes in case of fire, suitable for indoor deployments in offices, data centers, and home networks. It is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet standards, making it a versatile solution for network upgrades and maintenance.

Key Benefits:

• Supports 10GbE networking up to 5 meters


• Advanced shielding for superior signal integrity


• High-quality gold-plated RJ45 connectors


• Durable snagless design for easy cable management
