5 ft Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gb networks

The Cable Leader Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link up to 100 meters at 500 MHz. It is built for gamers, home-office users and anyone who needs a stable connection for a PS5, Xbox, PC, router or NAS without relying on Wi-Fi. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e means it drops straight into existing network gear.

Snagless boot and gold contacts for daily routing

Each end carries an 8P8C RJ45 connector with 50-micron gold-plated contacts and a molded snagless boot that protects the locking clip while you pull the cable through tight spaces. The 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors sit in four twisted pairs around a cross-spline core measuring 6.9 mm in diameter, reducing crosstalk during long runs. The unshielded UTP jacket stays flexible for desk or wall-plate installs.

Drop-in upgrade from Cat5e or Cat6 runs

If your current patch cords are limited to 1 Gb, this cable unlocks 10GBASE-T on the same ports and switches with no hardware changes. The jump is worth it when you move large files between a NAS and workstation, host multiplayer game servers or stream 4K media to a smart TV and need consistent low latency. Buyers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or runs longer than 100 meters should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat6a standard cap at for this 5ft cable?

The Cat6a standard supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz, so this 5ft patch cable will carry the full 10 Gigabit rate without bottleneck.

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

The 6.9mm outer diameter plus molded snagless boots need a little extra clearance behind equipment or through cable trays so the locking clips do not catch on adjacent cords.

How do I seat the RJ45 plugs correctly, and what step do people skip?

Push each 8P8C RJ45 connector in until the tab clicks; the step many skip is verifying the click on both ends so the gold-plated contacts make full contact.
