Reliable 10Gbps Network Connection

This 5-foot StarTech CAT6a Ethernet cable is engineered to deliver dependable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Ideal for connecting switches, NAS devices, and SFP modules, it ensures consistent low latency and high throughput.

Superior Shielding and Construction

The cable features 4-pair Shielded and Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) construction with 27 AWG pure bare copper wires. Each twisted pair is wrapped in aluminum-mylar foil with an additional tinned copper braid shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity.

27AWG pure bare copper wire for optimal conductivity
S/FTP shielding reduces noise and crosstalk
Snagless 50-micro gold-plated RJ45 connectors with strain reliefs for durability
Flexible LSZH jacket ensures safety and durability in various environments
