  • Backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e for a simple drop-in upgrade

Ready for 10 Gigabit networking

This 7 ft Cat6a patch cable is built to the 10GBASE-T standard at 500 MHz and uses 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors with a cross-spline core. It terminates in RJ45 connectors that have 50-micron gold-plated contacts and snagless molded boots. The purple jacket is 6.9 mm in diameter and the cable is UL and ETL verified as well as RoHS compliant.

Ideal for consoles, PCs and wired backbones

Gamers who want a stable low-latency link to a PS5, Xbox or desktop will benefit from the wired connection over Wi-Fi. Home and office users can drop it straight into existing Cat6 or Cat5e runs for an instant upgrade. Builders who need shielded cable for noisy environments or runs longer than 100 metres should look at a different specification.

The 500 MHz Cat6a rating decides the fit

If your switch, router or network card negotiates 10GBASE-T this cable will carry the full 10 Gbit/s signal up to the rated distance. For equipment that only operates at 1 Gbit/s the extra headroom is unused but harmless.

Questions about this item

What outer diameter should I allow for when routing this 7 ft Cat6a cable through conduit or cable trays?

The cable has a 6.9 mm outer diameter thanks to its 4-pair cross-spline core, so size conduit or tray fill accordingly.

How do I ensure the snagless boot locks securely into an RJ45 port without snapping the clip?

Push the connector straight in until you hear a click; the molded snagless boot protects the locking clip, but forcing it at an angle can still break the tab.

When should I replace this patch cable if I use it for a permanent 10 Gbps link?

Replace it if the boot splits, the clip breaks, or the gold-plated contacts show corrosion, as physical damage degrades the 500 MHz signal path.
