12 ft Cat6a patch cable for wired gaming

This 12 ft Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link for PS5, Xbox, gaming PCs, routers, switches, NAS units and smart TVs. It supports 10GBASE-T at 500 MHz up to 100 m and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment. The blue UTP cable uses 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors arranged in four twisted pairs around a cross-shaped spline for signal integrity.

Sustained 10 Gigabit throughput over 100 metres

The Cat6a construction maintains 10 Gbps performance across the full 100 m channel without the speed drop-off seen on lower categories under continuous load. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts on each RJ45 connector resist oxidation, keeping resistance low during long transfers, streaming sessions or large file moves. The 6.9 mm outer diameter and cross-spline geometry suppress alien crosstalk so latency and packet loss stay minimal even when the link is saturated.

Snagless boots and flexible stranded conductors

The molded snagless boots protect the locking clips while you pull the cable through trunking, around desk legs or behind entertainment units. Stranded 24 AWG conductors make the cable pliable enough for tight bends without kinking, and the RJ45 plugs seat securely in standard keystone jacks, patch panels and device ports. The only limitation is the fixed 12 ft length; buyers who need longer runs or in-wall rated jackets should choose a different cable.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power does the 12ft Cat6a cable generate when running 10 Gigabit all day?

The cable is passive copper with no active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat and draws no power itself; only the connected ports consume energy.

What devices must I already own for the RJ45 connectors to work?

Any equipment with standard 8P8C RJ45 ports — routers, modems, switches, PoE injectors, PS5, Xbox, PCs, NAS units, smart TVs or patch panels — will accept the connectors directly.

Will the 500MHz Cat6a cable work reliably alongside my older Cat5e patch panel and Cat6 wall runs?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it drops into existing Cat5e patch panels and Cat6 wall runs without any configuration changes.
