2ft Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gigabit networking

This 2ft Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link for gaming consoles, PCs, routers and NAS devices. It uses 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors in a UTP construction with a 6.9 mm outer diameter. The cable is terminated with RJ45 connectors featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts and snagless molded boots. RoHS compliant and UL & ETL Verified.

500MHz bandwidth for 10GBASE-T up to 100m

The cable is rated at 500MHz and meets the Cat6a standard for 10GBASE-T operation over 100 meters. A cross-spline core separates the four twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and maintain signal integrity at high frequencies. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e allows it to replace older cables without changing any network equipment.

Short 2ft length keeps desk and console setups tidy

At 2ft the cable suits short runs between a PS5, Xbox or PC and a nearby switch, router or wall jack. It handles 10 Gigabit traffic with low latency and no packet loss compared to Wi-Fi. For longer runs across rooms or through walls you will need a longer cable; the 100m channel limit applies to the full link, not to this patch lead alone.

Questions about this item

What does the 500MHz rating mean when the cable is installed in my network?

The 500MHz bandwidth allows the cable to carry 10GBASE-T signals at full 10 gigabit speed over the full 100 meter channel distance defined by the Cat6a standard.

What does the RJ45 connector cap in practice for this Cat6a cable?

The 8P8C RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts are rated for 10GBASE-T at 500MHz, so they do not become the bottleneck on a Cat6a link.

What physical space does the 6.9mm diameter and snagless boot need to route cleanly?

The 6.9mm outer diameter with cross-spline core and molded snagless boots requires enough clearance for a 7mm cable bend radius and room for the boot to release the locking tab without catching.
