6-inch Cat6a patch cable for tight runs

This 6-inch Cat6a Ethernet cable is a short RJ45 patch lead built for 10 Gigabit networking at 500 MHz. It suits gamers and office users who need a tidy wired link between a console, PC, NAS or switch and a nearby wall port or router. The blue jacket and snagless boots keep the run neat and the locking tab protected.

Check your port spacing and required reach

Verify that the devices you plan to connect sit close enough for a 6-inch cable; the short length leaves no slack for routing around obstacles. Ensure both ends have standard RJ45 jacks and that your switch, router or console supports 10GBASE-T if you want the full 10 Gbps rate. The cable is unshielded UTP, so avoid running it parallel to power cables or fluorescent ballasts.

Stranded copper core with gold contacts

The lead uses 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors twisted in four pairs around a cross-spline core measuring 6.9 mm outer diameter for crosstalk control. Connectors carry 50-micron gold-plated pins and are covered by molded PVC boots that prevent the latch from catching during insertion or removal. UL and ETL verified, RoHS compliant, and backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e hardware.

Questions about this item

Does the 6 in cable come ready to plug in or do I need to buy RJ45 connectors separately?

The cable is terminated with 8P8C RJ45 connectors on both ends and includes snagless molded boots, so nothing else is required to connect it.

When should I pick the 6 in blue version instead of a longer length?

Choose the 6 in length when you need a tidy link between devices that sit side by side, such as a console and a router on the same shelf.

Will the 500 MHz rating actually give me 10 Gbps on my PS5?

The Cat6a construction supports 10GBASE-T at 500 MHz over the full 100 m channel, so the 6 in patch cord will deliver the full 10 Gbps to a PS5 or any 10 GbE port.
