5 ft Cat6a patch cable for wired 10 Gb networks

This 5 ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gbps wired link for gaming consoles, PCs, routers and NAS devices. The white jacket and snagless boots keep a desk or entertainment center tidy while the stranded 24 AWG bare copper conductors maintain signal quality. It is built for anyone who wants a drop-in upgrade from Cat5e or Cat6 without changing existing hardware.

100 m channel limit at 500 MHz defines

Cat6a supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz, so this 5 ft patch cord works anywhere inside that channel budget. The 6.9 mm outer diameter and cross-spline pair separation control crosstalk, while 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion. Unshielded UTP construction means it installs like a standard patch cable but cannot reject external noise the way shielded cable can.

24 AWG stranded copper decides flexibility

The 24 AWG stranded conductors make the cable supple enough for tight routing behind a console or inside a rack, yet they carry enough current for PoE injectors and powered devices. Solid-core alternatives pull straighter over long runs but are stiffer and harder to terminate in patch panels. Choose this cable when a short, flexible, 10 Gbps-ready link is the priority.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 5ft length or a longer run for my desk setup?

Choose 5ft when the router or switch sits on the same desk or shelf as the PC or console; longer runs are better when the patch panel or wall port is across the room.

What does the 500MHz rating actually deliver in my network?

It guarantees the cable can carry 10GBASE-T traffic up to 100m with headroom for crosstalk and insertion loss at the full Cat6a bandwidth.

Is the RJ45 connector on this cable limited to 1Gbps like older plugs?

No — the 8P8C RJ45 with 50-micron gold contacts is built for 10GBASE-T and passes the full 500MHz Cat6a channel without bottlenecking at 1Gbps.
