Key Features

Category 6a shielded patch cable
5 ft cable length
RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male connectors
Gold connector plating
26 AWG stranded conductors
Snagless boot design

When the run is short, the standard should still be high. This Black Box Premium CAT6A shielded patch cable is built to exceed TIA/EIA 568.2-D CAT6A requirements and help protect copper links from EMI and RFI that can disrupt performance. The 5 ft length is ideal for tight rack layouts, short patch-panel jumps, and clean switch-to-device connections where excess cable only adds clutter. The cable uses stranded 26 AWG conductors, a PVC jacket, and a snagless boot to support frequent handling in active infrastructure spaces. Gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends help maintain consistent contact quality, while the shielded design adds protection in environments with dense power and data cabling. The CM-rated jacket supports general in-building use. For teams that value signal integrity and tidy cable management, this is a practical premium patch lead. It is a strong fit when you need a short CAT6A cable that performs like infrastructure gear, not a disposable accessory.

Ideal For

Short switch-to-patch-panel connections in racks
