PATCHBOX C60STPXC6AXX1B Network Cable Blue 1.8 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

The PATCHBOX C60STPXC6AXX1B is a 1.8 m Cat6a networking patch cable designed for use with PATCHBOX® Cassettes and frames. It uses U/FTP (shielded twisted pairs) construction and RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to support high-speed data transmission up to 10 000 Mbit/s. The cable is PoE-capable and conforms to industry channel testing standards for Cat6a installations, making it suitable for structured network cabinets and patching systems that require shielded Cat.6a cabling.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat6a performance with U/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense cabinet environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Its 1.8 m length fits common cabinet and patch panel layouts, and compatibility with PATCHBOX® Cassettes and frames allows modular customization of patching infrastructure.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbit/s
• Shielded structured cabling in network cabinets and racks
• PoE-powered devices where shielded Cat6a cables are required
• Modular PATCHBOX® patching systems and cassettes

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (channel tested)
• Shielding: U/FTP (shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 1.8 m
• Connector: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• PoE capability: supports PoE and higher PoE++ levels depending on shield and device

How to use

Connect the gold-plated RJ-45 ends to corresponding RJ-45 ports on PATCHBOX® Cassettes, patch panels, switches, or network devices. Ensure the cable shielding is properly grounded when used in shielded installations to maintain EMC performance. Route the cable through the PATCHBOX® frame or cable manager to keep bends within recommended limits and avoid excessive tension.

Recommendations

Use this U/FTP Cat6a cable with compatible PATCHBOX® Cassettes and frames; verify grounding of shielded systems and avoid tight bends near connectors to preserve performance.
