7ft Cat6a patch cable for 10GBASE-T networks

This 7ft Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link for gaming consoles, desktop PCs, routers, switches and NAS devices. It meets the Cat6a standard at 500MHz and runs 10GBASE-T up to 100m while remaining backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure. The red jacket makes the run easy to identify in a busy rack or behind a desk.

Gold-plated contacts and cross-spline core

Each end carries an 8P8C RJ45 plug with 50-micron gold-plated contacts and a snagless molded boot that protects the locking clip during routing. Inside, four twisted pairs of 24AWG stranded bare copper surround a 6.9mm cross-spline to reduce crosstalk and maintain signal integrity. The construction is RoHS compliant and UL & ETL Verified.

500MHz bandwidth enables 10 Gigabit over copper

The decisive specification is the 500MHz channel bandwidth certified to the Cat6a standard, which allows 10GBASE-T throughput at distances up to 100m. Buyers who need longer runs beyond 100m or who require shielded cable for noisy environments will need a different product.

Questions about this item

Will the 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts need cleaning or replacement over time?

The 50-micron gold plating resists corrosion and maintains conductivity; no scheduled cleaning or contact replacement is required under normal indoor use.

What is the maximum channel length before 10GBASE-T performance drops below the 500MHz Cat6a rating?

The cable supports 10GBASE-T at 500MHz for the full 100-meter channel defined by the Cat6a standard; this 7ft patch cord consumes only a small fraction of that budget.

Does the 6.9mm unshielded PVC jacket run hot or draw extra power on a PoE injector all day?

The bare copper conductors carry PoE current without measurable heating; the unshielded 6.9mm jacket dissipates heat normally and adds no power draw beyond the connected device.
