Buying in bulk? This pack contains 10 CAT6A U/FTP leads in orange, all 3m long, so a whole patch panel can be finished with matching cables.
Each one is a CAT6A lead with an RJ45 plug at both ends, rated to 500MHz for 10GBASE-T across a full 100 metre channel.
The cable uses a separate foil screen on each pair (U/FTP), which keeps crosstalk between the pairs very low. Screened leads work best when the switch ports and patch panel are screened as well. An LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) jacket is used, which is what most building specifications now call for indoors. At 30 AWG the cable is much thinner than a standard lead, freeing up space and airflow in crowded cabinets. Slim leads are designed for patching, so keep them to the shorter lengths used inside cabinets and at desks. The RJ45 latch is protected by snagless boots, which stop it hooking on other cables or breaking.
Choosing orange leads for one job (cameras, phones or uplinks, say) makes faults quicker to trace later.
