3 ft Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gbps networks
This 3-foot purple Cat6a cable uses S/FTP shielding and 27 AWG pure copper conductors to support 10 Gbps speeds at 500 MHz. It is built for 10GBASE-T deployments and carries up to 100 W of PoE++ power to devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a snagless boot protect the latch during frequent moves.
Practical limits of the Cat6a 500 MHz standard
The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D requirements for Cat6a performance, keeping near-end crosstalk and return loss low across the 500 MHz bandwidth. It is rated for 10 Gbps over the full 100-metre channel, so this short patch lead will not be the bottleneck. PoE++ delivery follows IEEE 802.3bt Type 4, limited to 100 W at the powered device.
Snagless boot and flexible LSZH jacket ease
The snagless moulded boot prevents the latch from catching on adjacent cables when routing through dense patch panels or tight cable trays. A low-smoke zero-halogen jacket reduces toxic emissions in enclosed spaces and stays pliable for tight bends. The only common issue is exceeding the recommended bend radius, which can degrade the shield integrity over time.

Questions about this item
Should I choose this 3-foot purple cable or a different length for my 10GBASE-T patch panel?
Pick the 3-foot length when the switch and panel sit in the same rack; longer runs add slack that can block airflow in dense cabinets.
What does the 500 MHz rating actually deliver inside a live 10Gbps link?
The 500 MHz bandwidth supports the full 10GBASE-T signal spectrum, keeping near-end crosstalk and return loss low so the link stays at 10Gbps without retraining.
How does the S/FTP shield and PoE++ rating affect the cable's real-world power and data limits?
The foil-plus-braid shield blocks EMI that would degrade 10Gbps signals, while the 27 AWG pure copper conductors carry up to 100W PoE++ per IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 without overheating.
