This snagless shielded Cat6a patch cable is ideal for use with 10GBase-T ports and equipment, such as network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems and patch panels, and will protect a high-speed 10 Gigabit network connection from noise and electromagnetic interference. For voice/data/video distribution, this cable will handle bandwidth-intensive applications and drastically reduce both impedance and structural return loss (SRL). Constructed from high-quality cable and plugs, this design minimizes Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels.
