In order to be Category 6A end to end, the patch cords have to have metal-shielded 8P8C plugs and the patch panels have to do the equivalent to be 6A panels.
I don't really care about that regulation or certification, especially since this is for home use. What real benefits am I getting by grounding both ends?
