Cat6 Shielded Ethernet Cable – 10Gbps Gold-Plated RJ45 Snagless LAN Cable (Black)

Cat6 Shielded Ethernet Cable — 10Gbps | 550MHz | UL Listed & ETL Verified | Gold-Plated Snagless RJ45 | Black

When cable performance and signal integrity are non-negotiable, this premium Cat6 Shielded Ethernet Cable delivers. Rated for 10 Gbps at 550 MHz — more than double the standard Cat6 specification — and built with a shielded construction to eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, this cable is engineered for the most demanding network environments: server rooms, data centres, ISP NOCs, high-density patch panels, and professional enterprise installations across Uganda and East Africa.

Double-certified with both UL Listed and ETL Verified marks, and fitted with gold-plated snagless RJ45 connectors, this is not a generic commodity cable — it is a professional-grade interconnect built for long-term reliability in critical network infrastructure. Available at UGX 48,000, it represents outstanding value for the level of specification and certification it carries. ISPs deploying this cable in their NOC and PoP infrastructure can pair their network with our ISP Billing System for complete subscriber management, automated invoicing, and bandwidth control.

Key Features

• 10 Gbps Speed Rating: Future-ready performance — handles 10 Gigabit Ethernet for short runs (<55m) and full 1 Gbps over standard 100m runs
• 550 MHz Bandwidth: More than double the 250 MHz standard Cat6 spec — superior signal headroom for high-density patching and reduced crosstalk in busy server environments
• Shielded Construction (STP/FTP): Electromagnetic shielding reduces interference from nearby power cables, fluorescent lighting, motors, and other EMI sources that degrade signal quality in industrial and data centre environments
• UL Listed: Independently verified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to meet fire safety and electrical standards — required for in-wall and plenum-adjacent installations in professional environments
• ETL Verified: Independently tested by Intertek to confirm genuine Cat6 performance specifications — not just manufacturer-claimed specs
• Gold-Plated RJ45 Connectors: Corrosion-resistant gold contacts maintain low resistance and reliable signal transmission for the lifetime of the cable
• Snagless Moulded Boot: Protects the RJ45 locking tab from breaking in tight rack environments and provides strain relief for long-term connector durability
• Black Colour: Professional, clean finish for server rooms, data centres, and NOC patch panels
• Broad Compatibility: PCs, servers, NAS, switches, routers, patch panels, IP cameras, smart TVs, tablets, and ISP CPE
• Backward Compatible: Works with all Cat5e and Cat5 equipment

UL Listed + ETL Verified — Why Double Certification Matters

Many cables on the market carry only manufacturer self-certification. This Cat6 shielded cable carries two independent third-party certifications:

• UL Listed (Underwriters Laboratories): Confirms the cable meets fire safety and electrical safety standards — critical for in-wall, plenum, and data centre installations where fire code compliance is mandatory
• ETL Verified (Intertek): Confirms the cable genuinely meets Cat6 electrical performance specifications for speed, bandwidth, crosstalk rejection, and return loss — not just claimed, but tested and confirmed by an independent lab

For ISP NOC, enterprise, and government network installations in Uganda where documentation of cable performance standards may be required, double-certified cable is the professional and auditable choice.

Shielded vs Unshielded — When to Choose This Cable

Standard Cat6 cables use UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction which is sufficient for most office and home environments. This cable uses shielded construction — choose it when your installation environment includes:

• High EMI: Near power distribution boards, UPS systems, generators, fluorescent lighting ballasts, or industrial equipment
• High-density patching: Dozens of cables running in close parallel in server rooms or NOC racks where crosstalk accumulates
• 10 Gbps short-run applications: Server-to-server or server-to-switch 10GbE connections where signal integrity margins matter
• Government & enterprise standards compliance: Environments where shielded cable is specified in the network infrastructure standard
• ISP NOC & PoP environments: Where mixing high-voltage PoE, power cables, and data cables in the same cable management tray increases interference risk

ISP NOC & Infrastructure Deployment

ISPs building professional NOC and PoP infrastructure across Uganda rely on certified, shielded cabling to maintain auditable, interference-free network installations. Pair your shielded Cat6 cable deployment with our ISP Billing System — purpose-built for East African internet service providers — to automate subscriber billing, manage bandwidth plans, and scale your ISP business efficiently across Uganda.
