The Astrotek CAT6A Shielded Ethernet Cable is engineered for high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) networks. Featuring a 50-metre blue jacketed cable with Category 6a compliance, it supports bandwidth up to 550 MHz, making it ideal for demanding applications such as HD video streaming, server connections, cloud computing, video surveillance, VoIP, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices.

This cable utilizes 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and comes with an S/FTP shielding configuration — a screened foil covering each twisted pair plus an overall AL-MG braided shield to significantly reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk compared to unshielded cables. The RJ45 connectors (8P8C) are equipped with gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable and corrosion-resistant connections.

Its innovative snagless boot design protects the connector clip during installation, preventing damage and snagging in tight or cable-dense environments. Available with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, the cable enhances safety by minimizing toxic smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, suitable for residential, commercial, or industrial installations.

Backward compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet standards allows for versatile use across multiple network generations. Whether you're upgrading your infrastructure or extending cabling in new installations, the Astrotek CAT6A cable delivers exceptional signal integrity and durability for future-proof network performance.
