14ft Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gigabit wired links

This 14-foot Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired connection for gaming consoles, PCs, routers and switches. It uses 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors with a cross-spline core to reduce crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and snagless boots protect the locking clips during installation. The gray jacket suits home, office and data-centre runs.

Practical limits of the Cat6a standard

The Cat6a standard supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz, so this 14ft length operates well within the distance ceiling. It is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment, allowing a drop-in upgrade without replacing switches or network cards. The unshielded UTP construction keeps the cable flexible for routing around corners and through trunking.

500 MHz bandwidth decides 10 Gigabit suitability

A 500 MHz rated Cat6a cable is the single specification that guarantees 10 Gigabit throughput over the full 100-metre channel. Lower-category cables cannot sustain that bandwidth at distance, making this the correct part for 10GBASE-T links. If your network only runs at 1 Gigabit, a Cat5e or Cat6 cable will also work.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 14ft length or a different one for my desk-to-router run?

The 14ft length works well for typical desk-to-router or console-to-switch distances; choose a longer option only if your path needs more slack.

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean when I plug this into my PC or console?

It supports 10GBASE-T speeds up to 100 meters at 500MHz, so a 14ft run will deliver full 10 Gigabit throughput provided your router, switch and NIC also run at 10G.

How does the Cat6a standard and RJ45 connector limit real-world speed?

The Cat6a specification caps performance at 500MHz and 10GBASE-T over 100 meters; the RJ45 interface carries that signal without further bottleneck.
