Network Patch Cord Matrix Audio CAT6A, 2 m length

Matrix Audio CAT6A network patch cord, 2 m length, is a shielded twisted-pair cable designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed LAN connections. The cable is intended for use with patch panels, switches, routers and audio-network devices where Category 6A performance is required to reduce crosstalk and maintain signal integrity over short to medium runs within home and professional network installations.

Advantages

The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference and alien crosstalk, improving data throughput and stability for high-bandwidth applications. Its Category 6A specification ensures performance suitable for 10GBASE-T networks at typical installation distances, while the 2 m length provides flexibility for rack, desk and equipment-to-equipment connections. The connector ends and cable construction are manufactured to provide consistent impedance and reliable contact for prolonged use.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and routers in LAN racks
• Linking audio-network devices and AV equipment that require high data rates
• Desktop or workstation connections to network ports
• Short-run Ethernet connections in home or small office environments

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (Cat6A)
• Length: 2 meters
• Conductor type: Shielded twisted pair
• Bandwidth capability: Suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet / 500 MHz class performance
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 plug on both ends
• Typical uses: Indoor patching and direct equipment interconnects

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the source device and the other into the destination device or network panel. Ensure connectors seat fully and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and tight cable bundling near power lines to minimize interference. For rack installations, route the cable through cable management to prevent strain on connectors and to maintain orderly patching.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6A patch cord for short to medium runs up to typical patching distances and avoid exposing the cable to excessive mechanical stress or outdoor environments. Combine shielded cables with properly grounded shielded equipment and cable management to maximize EMI protection and signal integrity.
