What Is a CAT6A UTP RJ45 Patch Cord?
This CAT6A U/UTP patch cord provides removable RJ45 connections between patch panels, network switches, servers, routers, work-area outlets and other Ethernet equipment. The unshielded design suits UTP channel architectures where grounding and shield continuity are not required.
With a specified operating frequency of 500 MHz and support for 10GBASE-T applications, the product family is suitable for data centers, equipment rooms and enterprise networks. Three stranded-copper conductor sizes help buyers balance cable diameter, flexibility, rack density and required length.
Connector and Cable Construction
Modular RJ45 plugs use a polycarbonate body for standard Ethernet equipment interfaces.
LSZH or PVC boot options protect the latch and help reduce bending stress during moves and maintenance.
Phosphor-bronze blades use 50 microinch gold over nickel plating for the front connection.
Key Benefits
Designed for CAT6A links operating up to 500 MHz and high-speed 10GBASE-T network connections.
Choose 24, 26 or 28 AWG to balance current-carrying capacity, flexibility and high-density routing.
The snagless boot reduces the risk of latch damage when patching through crowded cable pathways.
Standard order codes cover common cabinet and work-area lengths, with longer project options by gauge.
LSZH and PVC options support different installation and procurement requirements.
Color, printing, plug or boot branding, labels, packing and strain-relief options can be confirmed for volume orders.
Applications
- Patch-panel to switch connections in network cabinets.
- Server and switch interconnection in data centers.
- Enterprise LAN work-area and equipment-room patching.
- 10GBASE-T routers, switches, servers and compatible network appliances.
- HDBaseT, ATM, CATV and IP device links where the complete system design is compatible.
Conductor and Length Options
7/0.20 mm stranded conductor with a nominal cable OD of 6.0 ± 0.2 mm.
7/0.16 mm stranded conductor with a nominal cable OD of 5.4 ± 0.2 mm.
7/0.127 mm stranded conductor with a nominal cable OD of 5.0 ± 0.2 mm.
Selection Guide
Use larger 24 AWG conductors where cable diameter is acceptable; use slimmer 26 or 28 AWG options where flexibility and port density matter.
Specify LSZH or PVC and confirm the required fire-performance or local installation classification before ordering.
Use this U/UTP model in an unshielded system. Select a shielded patch cord when the channel requires shield continuity.

FAQ
Is this patch cord shielded?
No. This model uses U/UTP unshielded construction and is intended for an unshielded copper channel.
Which conductor gauges are available?
The product family includes 24 AWG, 26 AWG and 28 AWG stranded copper options with different cable diameters and available lengths.
What network speed and frequency does it support?
The CAT6A design is specified for operation up to 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T applications. The complete installed channel must also meet the required performance class.
What jacket and boot options can be ordered?
LSZH or PVC material options are available with a snagless boot. Confirm the required fire-performance class for the installation location.
Can the length, color and labeling be customized?
Length, cable color, plug or boot logo, cable printing, labels and packing can be discussed for project and OEM orders.
