Watch out

  • Each color and length combination is a separate listing; check both selections before ordering.
  • The maker's page also sells related Cat6 and Cat8 cables with different speeds and shielding.

Why people pick it

  • Cat6A 10-Gigabit rating with 550 MHz bandwidth for patch-panel and keystone runs
  • S/FTP shielding on both the cable and the RJ45 connectors for noisy environments
  • 26 AWG bare-copper conductors rather than CCA
  • Snagless boots protect the latch in dense patch panels

Know before you buy

  • Sold in 5-packs only on this listing, so single-cable buyers overspend
  • Shielded cable is thicker and less flexible than unshielded Cat6A
  • Shielding only helps end to end; unshielded runs elsewhere limit the benefit
