SKU CH-0T4D-RQTN8 MPN N261-050-BK

A 50 ft Cat6a patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors for 10G networking

  • Length50 ft.
  • Supports 10 Gbps speeds with Category 6a rating
  • Snagless molded boots protect RJ45 connectors during installation
  • 50 ft length connects devices across rooms or racks
  • Handles Power over Ethernet for cameras and access points
  • Compatible with switches, routers, servers and network devices

What this cable connects

This 50 ft Cat6a patch cable links computers, printers, security cameras and other RJ-45 devices to switches, routers, patch panels or servers. It is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet runs up to the full 50 ft length. The snagless molded boots protect the locking tabs during frequent moves.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper cable it generates no heat, draws no power and produces no audible noise. The UTP construction relies on balanced twisted pairs rather than active electronics, so there is no thermal load on connected equipment. Signal integrity meets the Category 6a specification across the 15.2 m run.

Upgrade path and limits

The cable replaces any Cat5e or older patch lead that cannot sustain 10 Gbit/s over 50 ft. It is not suited for runs longer than 50 ft, for outdoor burial, or for applications requiring shielded or plenum-rated jackets. Buyers needing longer distances or different fire ratings should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item

How do I install the snagless RJ45 connectors without damaging the latch?

Press the connector straight into the port until the latch clicks; the molded snagless boot protects the tab during insertion and removal.

What maintenance or replacement will this cable need over time?

Inspect the boot and jacket for cracks or kinks; replace the cable if the latch breaks or the conductors become exposed.

What is the practical length limit for 10 Gbps on this 50 ft Cat6a cable?

At 50 ft (15.2 m) the run is well within the Cat6a channel distance, so 10 Gbps operation is supported.
