100ft Cat6a cable for long wired runs

This 100ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link for home and office networks. It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz and drops straight into existing Cat6 or Cat5e setups. The orange jacket makes it easy to identify among other cables. It is built for runs between rooms, floors or across a building where Wi-Fi is unreliable.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive copper cable it generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no power of its own. The 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors and 4-pair cross-spline core maintain signal integrity over the full 100ft length. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion for a stable connection. The 6.9mm outer diameter handles cleanly during installation.

Snagless boots and cross-spline core

Snagless molded PVC boots protect the locking clips from damage when routing through tight spaces. The internal cross-spline separates the four twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk at 500MHz. UL and ETL verification plus RoHS compliance confirm the build quality. The cable works with routers, switches, PoE injectors, consoles, PCs, NAS and smart TVs.

Questions about this item

How do I route the 6.9 mm cable through tight conduit without damaging the snagless boot?

Feed the connector first and pull gently; the molded boot protects the clip but adds bulk, so avoid sharp bends tighter than four times the outer diameter.

When should I replace the cable if the gold-plated contacts oxidise?

The 50-micron gold plating resists corrosion for years; replace only if you see intermittent link errors or visible green discolouration on the pins.

At what length does 10GBASE-T performance drop below the 500 MHz Cat6a rating?

The standard guarantees 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres; this 100 ft run is well within that limit, so sustained 10 Gb/s is maintained.
