Panduit ISTP6X1MBLR Cat 6A Shielded Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT ISTP6X1MBLR is a shielded Cat 6A patch cable designed for high-performance industrial network installations. Cat 6A cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it well suited for demanding data environments where signal integrity and interference rejection are critical. The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which is especially important in industrial settings with high electrical noise from motors, drives, and other equipment. Network technicians and structured cabling installers deploy this cable in patch panels, network switches, and equipment racks.

This patch cable is intended for use in industrial and commercial network environments where a shielded Cat 6A connection is required. Typical installations include factory floors, manufacturing facilities, data centers, and other locations with elevated EMI exposure. The ISTP designation indicates an individual shielded twisted pair construction, providing both overall and per-pair shielding for maximum noise immunity. It is sold as a single cable unit (EA).

Key Features

• Cat 6A shielded construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• ISTP (Individually Shielded Twisted Pair) design provides per-pair and overall EMI protection
• Rated for industrial network environments with high electrical noise
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit patch cable for Cat 6A shielded network infrastructure applications in industrial and commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician or structured cabling installer familiar with TIA-568 standards for Cat 6A shielded cabling. Ensure shielded patch panels and jacks are used throughout the channel to maintain shielding continuity. Avoid exceeding minimum bend radius during routing to preserve cable performance. Power down connected equipment before servicing patch connections where required by site safety procedures.
