Cat6a Patch Cable for 10 Gigabit Networks

This five-foot Cat6a patch cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link for home, office or gaming networks. It meets the 500 MHz Cat6a standard and runs 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres while remaining backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e hardware. The 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors are arranged in four twisted pairs around a cross-spline core with a 6.9 mm outer diameter for signal integrity.

Wired Connection for Consoles, PCs and Network Gear

Gamers and remote workers who want lower latency and fewer dropped packets than Wi-Fi can plug this cable into a PS5, Xbox, desktop PC, router, switch, modem, NAS or smart TV. The snagless moulded boots protect the locking clip during routing and the 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion. Buyers who need shielded cabling for electrically noisy environments or longer runs beyond five feet should consider a different cable type.

Unshielded UTP Construction at 500 MHz

The cable uses unshielded twisted-pair construction rated for 500 MHz bandwidth, which determines whether it supports 10 Gigabit speeds over the full 100-metre Cat6a distance. If your installation requires foil or braid shielding to meet local code or to reject interference, this UTP design will not satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 ft purple Cat6a cable come with any extra accessories, or is it just the cable itself?

The box contains only the 5 ft Cat6a patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. No additional tools, clips or adapters are included.

When would I pick the 5 ft length over a longer or shorter version?

Choose the 5 ft cable when the device sits close to the router, switch or wall jack — typical for a desk, console or NAS shelf — so there is no excess slack to manage.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for my 10 Gbps connection?

The 500 MHz bandwidth meets the Cat6a standard for 10GBASE-T, allowing the cable to carry 10 Gbps reliably up to 100 m, so the 5 ft run will handle full speed with ample margin.
