JAVEX 23AWG Cat6A Ethernet Cable 100% Shielded FTP 500FT - High-Speed

In this review of the JAVEX Cat6A 23AWG Ethernet cable, the bottom line is clear: this cable is built for installations that demand high-speed, shielded performance and reliable in-wall safety. The reviewer finds it most useful for structured cabling where interference and power delivery matter, since the 100% shielded FTP design and solid bare copper conductors deliver signal fidelity up to 750MHz while meeting riser safety requirements. Installers and IT pros will appreciate the sequential foot-marking and ETL/UL verification during long runs.

Key Features

• High-speed Shielded Transmission: Supports up to 750MHz and is suitable for horizontal and backbone runs that need robust bandwidth and reduced error rates.
• Cat6A FTP Shielded Design: The foil shielding and overall construction help prevent EMI and reduce cross-talk in home and business riser installs.
• Bare Copper Conductor: Solid pure copper conductors provide better signal fidelity and long-term durability compared with copper clad alternatives.
• UL Riser Rated Jacket: The CMR riser jacket is intended for in-wall, between-floor, non-plenum installations and meets vertical flame test requirements.
• Certified Quality: ETL verification to TIA-568.2-D and UL listing give confidence for professional deployments and PoE++ use.
• Sequential Foot-Marking: The running FT count on the jacket simplifies measuring and cutting during long cable pulls.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at network installers, electricians, and small business IT teams that need a shielded Cat6A solution for riser and in-wall runs where EMI is a concern and PoE++ may be used. It is a practical choice when true solid copper conductors and certified safety listings are required for permanent installations.

It is less suited to casual consumers wanting a very flexible patch cable for desktop use or those who need plenum-rated cable for air-handling spaces. Home hobbyists who prioritize extremely thin or ultra-flexible cables may find this cable thicker and stiffer than typical patch cords.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable solid bare copper conductors provide consistent signal fidelity and longevity.
• Full FTP shield and construction reduce EMI and cross-talk in challenging environments.
• UL CMR riser rating and ETL verification give peace of mind for in-wall and between-floor installs.
• Sequential foot-marking speeds up precise installation and measurement.

Cons

• The cable is noticeably thicker and stiffer, which can make tight bends or patch-panel work more challenging.
• Not suitable for plenum spaces where a plenum-rated jacket is required.

Our Verdict

The JAVEX 23AWG Cat6A FTP cable is a strong choice for installations that demand shielded high-speed performance and certified in-wall safety. While its thickness and stiffness can be a trade-off for tight routing, its solid copper conductors, riser rating, and ETL/UL verification make it good value for professional and permanent cabling where reliability matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable safe for in-wall installation?
Yes. The jacket is UL CMR riser rated, designed for in-wall and between-floor non-plenum installations and meets vertical flame requirements.

Can this cable handle PoE++?
Yes. The construction and certifications indicate support for PoE and PoE+ and it is UL listed for higher power delivery applications.

Will the shielding help in electrically noisy environments?
Yes. The FTP shielded design reduces EMI and cross-talk, which is beneficial in environments with potential interference.
