This 10m CAT6A patch lead from Nimbus is rated to 500MHz and handles 10GBASE-T across a full 100 metre channel. It is the cable to choose for 10 Gigabit server, storage and uplink connections.
The cable uses foil around each pair and an overall foil layer (F/FTP). Screened leads work best when the switch ports and patch panel are screened as well. The black PE (polyethylene) outer jacket is made for outdoor use, so the lead can be run along walls, fences and between buildings. Moulded boots support the cable where it meets the plug, reducing strain on the conductors.
At this length it can link rooms, reach a loft or garage office, or connect a distant access point back to the switch. Black is one of several colours in the range, so you can colour-code by department, VLAN or device type.
