  • 10 Gbps wired speed for gaming and networking at 500 MHz bandwidth
  • 40 ft reach keeps consoles, PCs and routers tidy without excess slack
  • 24 AWG bare copper with cross-spline core cuts crosstalk for stable 10GBASE-T links
  • Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and snagless boots protect the clip during frequent moves
  • Backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e gear for a drop-in upgrade

Built for 10 Gigabit networks

The Cable Leader 40ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable is a 10 Gigabit RJ45 patch cord built to the Cat6a standard. It uses 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors in a 4-pair cross-spline layout with an outer diameter of 6.9mm. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts and snagless boots complete the link. It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100m at 500MHz and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment.

Ideal for wired gaming and office drops

Gamers and home-office users who want a stable, low-latency wired link for a PS5, Xbox, PC, router or NAS will benefit from the 40ft reach and snagless boot design. Installers needing shielded cable, outdoor-rated jackets or PoE+ power budgets beyond the base standard should look elsewhere, as this is an unshielded UTP cable with standard PVC construction.

The deciding spec is 10GBASE-T at 500MHz

If your network gear and the run length require 10GBASE-T performance at 500MHz, this Cat6a cable meets that requirement. If the installation only needs 1Gbps or the run exceeds the 100m channel limit for 10GBASE-T, the extra headroom this cable provides will not change the result.

Questions about this item

What devices do I already need to plug this RJ45 Cat6a cable into?

You need two pieces of equipment with RJ45 ports — for example a router, modem, switch, PoE injector, gaming console, PC, NAS, smart TV or patch panel.

Will this Cat6a cable work with the Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels and switches I already have?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it drops straight into your existing network without changing any equipment.

How can I verify the link is running at the full 10 Gigabit speed after I connect it?

Check the port LEDs on your router or switch; a 10 Gb/s link typically shows a distinct colour or pattern, and your OS network status should report a 10 Gbps connection.
