  • ColorBlack
  • Extends reach with male-to-female RJ45 design
  • Reduces wear on primary Ethernet ports
  • Supports 10Gbps speeds and 500MHz bandwidth
  • 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors for reliability
  • CM-rated PVC jacket adds durability

Extension cable for wired networks

This Cat6A U/FTP cable extends an existing Ethernet run with a male-to-female RJ45 design. It uses 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors inside a CM-rated PVC jacket. The integrated PCB-mounted female jack has three gold-plated contacts for secure connectivity. It supports bandwidth up to 500MHz and data rates up to 10Gbps.

Home offices and IT setups needing reach

The three-foot length suits desks, racks or wall plates where the fixed cable falls short. Builders who need longer runs, outdoor-rated jackets or shielded S/FTP construction for high-interference sites should look at different cables. It is not a replacement for a full-length patch lead between switch and device.

Sustained throughput at Cat6A limits

The 26AWG stranded conductors maintain signal integrity over the full length at 500MHz. Gold-plated jack contacts resist oxidation during continuous mating cycles. The CM jacket meets standard flame ratings for in-wall routing where permitted. Performance stays consistent during prolonged 10Gbps transfers without the signal drop-off seen on lower-category extensions.

Questions about this item

What do I need to plug this male RJ45 end into?

Connect the male RJ45 plug to an existing Ethernet cable or wall jack with a female RJ45 port to extend the run.

Will this 26AWG Cat6A cable work with my older Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the Cat6A cable is backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both ends support, up to 10Gbps at 500MHz.

How can I verify the link is running at 10Gbps after I connect it?

Check the link speed in your operating system network status or switch port LEDs; a 10Gbps connection confirms the extension is performing to spec.
