A 15m CAT6A Ethernet patch lead rated to 500MHz, good for 10GBASE-T across a full 100 metre channel. That makes it a sensible choice for 10G switch uplinks, NAS boxes and multi-gig Wi-Fi access points.
The cable uses foil around each pair and an overall foil layer (F/FTP). For the screen to do its job, pair it with shielded panels, keystones and switch ports. 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.
It covers the distance to an upstairs room, a summer house or a ceiling-mounted access point. Choosing black leads for one job (cameras, phones or uplinks, say) makes faults quicker to trace later.
