Cable Leader Cat6a 7ft 24AWG Yellow network ethernet cable

7 ft Cat6a 24 AWG patch cable

The Cable Leader Cat6a cable is a 7 ft unshielded twisted-pair patch lead terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors arranged in four pairs around a 6.9 mm cross-spline core. The connectors carry 50-micron gold-plated contacts and snagless molded boots. It is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 m, while remaining backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment.

Home and office users needing a short 10 GbE link

This length suits a desktop-to-switch run, a console-to-router connection or a patch-panel jumper where a longer cable would create clutter. It works with routers, modems, switches, PoE injectors, gaming consoles, PCs, NAS units and smart TVs. Installers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments, plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces, or runs longer than 7 ft should select a different cable type.

Sustained 10 GbE throughput over the full 100 m

The 24 AWG stranded copper and cross-spline geometry keep crosstalk low so the link maintains 500 MHz performance under continuous load rather than only in short bursts. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that can degrade signal integrity over time. The snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated re-seating, preventing intermittent disconnects that appear after frequent moves. RoHS compliance and UL & ETL verification confirm consistent manufacturing quality for long-term operation.
