  • Snagless molded boots protect the locking clip and prevent tangles
  • Backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade

Purpose and audience

This 2 ft Cat6a patch cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link for gaming consoles, PCs, routers, switches, NAS units and smart TVs. The stranded 24 AWG bare copper conductors and 500 MHz bandwidth support 10GBASE-T up to 100 m while remaining backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks.

Who it suits and who it does not

Ideal for short desktop or console runs where a tidy purple cable reduces clutter and the snagless boot protects the locking clip during frequent moves. Buyers who need a longer drop to a distant wall jack or patch panel cannot use this length.

Deciding specification

The 2 ft length is the single figure that determines whether this cable reaches your device; if the distance between ports exceeds 2 ft you must select a longer Cat6a cable.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG stranded bare copper cable generate noticeable heat when carrying 10 Gbps traffic all day?

The 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors are rated for continuous 10GBASE-T operation; Ethernet cables do not produce measurable heat under normal network loads.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this purple 2 ft patch cable to work?

Any router, modem, switch, PoE injector, gaming console, PC, NAS, smart TV or patch panel with a standard 8P8C RJ45 jack will accept the cable directly.

Will the 500 MHz Cat6a spline design work reliably when plugged into older Cat5e or Cat6 wall jacks?

Yes — the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure, so it drops into existing jacks and negotiates the highest speed both ends support.
