10Gbps Shielded Network Patch Cord

　　The 10Gbps shielded network patch cord is a premium twisted-pair solution engineered to deliver stable 10 Gigabits per second speeds while eliminating EMI/RFI and alien crosstalk—making it indispensable for dense enterprise data centers, high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and industrial environments with heavy electrical noise. Unlike unshielded 10Gbps cords that struggle in crowded racks or noisy settings, this shielded variant uses advanced shielding designs (typically S/FTP: Screened/Foil Twisted Pair) to protect 10Gbps signals from interference, ensuring consistent performance for bandwidth-heavy tasks like real-time virtualization, 8K video editing, and large-scale data backups. It is built to Cat6a or Cat7 standards, balancing long-distance capability (up to 100 meters) with robust interference protection.

　　At its core, the 10Gbps shielded cord features four twisted pairs of 23AWG copper conductors with an ultra-tight twist rate (TPI: 26–32 for Cat6a, 30–35 for Cat7). The S/FTP design adds two layers of protection: each individual pair is wrapped in foil to block pair-to-pair crosstalk, and all four pairs are enclosed in a braided copper or aluminum screen to deflect external EMI/RFI. This dual shielding is critical in dense data center racks, where dozens of cables operate in close proximity—alien crosstalk (interference between adjacent cables) can disrupt 10Gbps signals without proper shielding. The copper conductors are high-purity oxygen-free copper (OFC), reducing signal attenuation to ≤6.0 dB at 500 MHz (Cat6a) or ≤4.0 dB at 600 MHz (Cat7)—ensuring 10Gbps performance over the full 100-meter range.

　　The outer jacket is a heavy-duty LSZH material that meets international fire safety standards (UL 94 V-0, IEC 60332-1) and resists oil, moisture, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to 85°C). It is rugged enough to withstand the high-traffic conditions of data center aisles, where cables are frequently moved or handled. Connectors are shielded RJ45 with 24K gold-plated contacts and a solid metal housing that bonds to the cable’s braided shield, creating a continuous ground path. This ensures no interference leaks at the connection point—a common weak spot in shielded systems. The connectors are also backward-compatible with lower-category cords (Cat6, Cat5e), allowing enterprises to upgrade gradually.

　　Compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.2-1 (Cat6a) and ISO/IEC 11801 (Cat7), the 10Gbps shielded patch cord is compatible with 10GBASE-T switches, high-performance servers, and storage area network (SAN) controllers. It is available in lengths from 1 meter (rack-to-device runs) to 100 meters (campus links) and color-coded (e.g., yellow, orange) for easy identification. For enterprises operating in dense or noisy environments, this cord delivers enterprise-grade 10Gbps performance—proving that ultra-high speed and interference resistance can go hand in hand.
