1ft Cat6a Patch Cable for Wired Gaming

This 1ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link for gaming consoles, PCs and network gear. It uses 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors in a 4-pair cross-spline design with a 6.9mm outer diameter. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and snagless boots protect the connection during frequent moves.

Suited for Short Runs Between Adjacent Devices

The 1ft length keeps a desk or console setup tidy when the router, switch or modem sits right next to the PS5, Xbox or PC. It is not for buyers who need to span rooms, floors or longer rack distances where a 1ft cable cannot reach.

Stable 10GBASE-T Performance Over Full Distance

The cable supports 10GBASE-T at 500MHz across the full 100m Cat6a channel, so this short patch cord will not limit throughput in a longer installed run. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e means it drops into existing drops without re-termination.

Questions about this item

Does this 1ft Cat6a cable need any special router or switch port to deliver 10 Gigabit speeds?

It runs 10GBASE-T on any 10 Gigabit RJ45 port and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e gear, so existing equipment works without changes.

Will the 24AWG stranded conductors and 6.9mm diameter make it too stiff to route behind a PS5 or Xbox?

The stranded bare copper and snagless molded boot keep the cable flexible and tangle-resistant, so it bends easily in tight console spaces.

How can I confirm the link is actually running at 500MHz after I plug it in?

Check the port LEDs or OS network status for a 10 Gbps negotiated speed; that indicates the full Cat6a 500MHz channel is active.
