Patch Cable IT-BUDGET Cat.6A with Cat.7 Bare Cable, 600 MHz, Halogen-Free, PoE+, 10 Gbit, Yellow, 7.5 m

The IT-BUDGET Patch Cable Cat.6A with Cat.7 Bare Cable in yellow and 7.5 m length is a shielded copper patch lead designed for structured LAN installations where stable 10 Gbit connections and extended bandwidth are required. The cable construction follows Cat.6A performance with a Cat.7 bare cable internal design, supporting up to 600 MHz and delivering 10 Gbit/s data rates over copper. The halogen-free jacket reduces harmful fumes in case of fire, and PoE+ compatibility allows safe delivery of power and data to PoE devices such as cameras, access points and VoIP phones.

Advantages

This shielded patch cable combines Cat.6A connectivity with a Cat.7 bare conductor layout to offer improved signal integrity and reduced crosstalk at higher frequencies. The 600 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbit capability support modern network demands, while the halogen-free outer sheath provides a safer material profile for indoor deployments. PoE+ support ensures compatibility with powered network devices without additional power lines.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connections between switches and servers in data cabinets and racks
• Linking PoE/PoE+ cameras and access points to network switches
• Workstation and office patching where 10 Gbit cabling is required
• Structured cabling in offices, meeting rooms and network closets

When it may not be suitable

This patch cable is intended for copper Ethernet runs within the specified length and is not suitable for runs beyond the maximum channel or permanent link distances defined by network standards. It is not a replacement for fibre optic links where electromagnetic immunity, longer reach or higher aggregated bandwidth is required. For outdoor, direct burial or UV-exposed installations, a cable with appropriate outdoor-rated jacket should be used instead.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A performance with Cat.7 bare conductor construction
• Bandwidth: up to 600 MHz
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Shielding: fully shielded design to reduce EMI and crosstalk
• Jacket material: halogen-free outer sheath
• Power over Ethernet: PoE and PoE+ compatible
• Color: yellow
• Length: 7.5 m

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices ensuring secure seating and avoiding sharp bends near the connector. Route the cable within cable management channels or patch panels to minimise tension and maintain the shield continuity where required by the installation. When using PoE devices, verify switch or injector power budgets and confirm device compatibility before powering. Test the link speed and performance with appropriate network testers after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required link length and whether 7.5 m suits your rack or desk layout
• Need for shielding in electrically noisy environments
• Compatibility with PoE/PoE+ devices and available power budget
• Whether an outdoor-rated or fibre solution is necessary for long-distance or outside runs

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter, avoid crushing or kinking, and maintain shield continuity through proper connector termination and shielding in patch panels. Use this cable for short-to-medium length copper backbones, switch-to-server connections and PoE device links where 10 Gbit capability and reduced crosstalk are required.
