Description of ๐Ÿ”Œ High-Performance Snagless Short Cat6A 3ft Shielded Ethernet Cable - Black 5-Pack by Cable Matters

High Performance Cat6a, 26 AWG, RJ45, Shielded Ethernet Cable provides universal connectivity for LAN network components such as PCs, computer servers, printers, routers, switch boxes, network media players, NAS, VoIP phones, PoE devices, and more. Cat6a performance at a Cat 5e price but with higher bandwidth; SSTP/SFTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding can prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce crosstalk noise over the Cat 6a Ethernet cable. A Category 6a Ethernet patch cable is also referred to as a Cat6a network cable, Cat6a cable, Cat6a Ethernet cable, or Cat 6a data/LAN cable. Future-proof your network for 10-Gigabit Ethernet (backwards compatible with any existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet); Meets or exceeds Category 6a performance in compliance with the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard. The shielded connectors with gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots provide durability, and ensure a secure connection; Bare copper conductors enhance cable performance and comply with specifications for communications cables. Flexible and durable Cat6a cable with high bandwidth of up to 550 MHz guarantees high-speed data transfer for server applications, cloud computing, video surveillance, and online high-definition video streaming.

Type of review

I tried to order these category 6a cables, model number 160012, but instead they sent me thin unshielded category 6 cables, number 160019, 30 AWG, fair game, accidents happen. I sent them back and asked for a replacement, no worries. But unfortunately Revain and Cable Matters don't know the difference between shielded Cat6a ground wire and ultra thin cable because yes they sent me another batch of unshielded Cat6 30AWG wires! What the heck did you get with that, the bag says Category 6a cableโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak

I ordered a set of 5 cables in 1ft, 3ft, 7ft and 10ft to connect devices in my rewire the house. The FireTV is on top and whenever I plugged in an ethernet cable (an old cable I had laying around) the FireTV would freeze and eventually reboot. I debugged the problem and it was a bad ethernet cable. So I've decided that once and for all I'm going to switch all the wiring in the house to high quality shielded Cat 6a cable. Doesn't matter! I haven't realized it until now. But some of my devicesโ€ฆ

  • Decent performance

Specifications - Computer Accessories and Peripherals

I took apart one of the cables I received to test it. As far as I can tell it follows the ISO specification for CAT6a. Of the three standards, CAT6a ISO is the strictest. It's worth noting that this is *fully shielded* CAT6a. There are several variants of CAT6a; The more common ones are usually partially shielded and have an X-shaped barrier separating the twisted pairs. In this variation, each pair is individually wrapped in foil and then all four pairs are wrapped together. This usuallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High test scores for support and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
