Cat 6A patch cords.

Also written Cat 6A cord, 10G patch cord, Category 6A patch lead.

When do I need a Cat 6A patch cord?

A Cat 6A patch cord is needed at both ends of any channel meant to carry 10 gigabit, because the channel performs as its lowest rated component. It is thicker than a Cat 6 cord, usually shielded, and rated to 500 MHz. On a Cat 6 floor it buys nothing; on a Cat 6A floor a Cat 6 cord quietly makes the whole link Cat 6.

Defined by ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, which rates the channel by its lowest rated component, published by TIA.
