Purpose-built 1ft Cat6a patch cable

This 1‑foot Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link for gaming consoles, desktop PCs, routers, switches, NAS units and smart TVs. The short length keeps desk and console setups tidy while providing a drop‑in upgrade over Cat6 or Cat5e infrastructure.

Signal integrity at 500MHz

Four twisted pairs around a 6.9 mm cross‑shaped spline and 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors support 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz. Gold‑plated 50‑micron RJ45 contacts and snagless molded boots maintain reliable contact through repeated inserts.

Ready for PoE and everyday routing

The unshielded UTP construction works with PoE injectors, modems, patch panels and all standard RJ45 ports without extra configuration. RoHS compliant and UL & ETL Verified, the cable installs cleanly in home, office or gaming environments.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 1ft Cat6a cable without damaging the RJ45 locking clip?

Push the connector straight into the port until the clip clicks; the snagless molded boot shields the clip so it will not catch or break during routing.

What part of this cable wears out first and needs replacement?

The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion, so the cable itself rarely fails; replace it only if the boot tears or a conductor is kinked.

What is the maximum channel length before 10GBASE-T performance drops on this Cat6a cable?

The Cat6a standard guarantees 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz; beyond that distance signal integrity degrades.
