7ft Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gigabit networks

This 7ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a wired 10 Gigabit connection for gaming consoles, PCs, routers and NAS devices. It supports the 10GBASE-T standard at 500MHz across runs up to 100 meters and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment. The blue jacket makes it easy to identify in a busy rack or behind a desk.

24AWG bare copper with cross-spline core

Stranded 24AWG bare copper conductors are arranged in four twisted pairs around a 6.9mm cross-spline to reduce crosstalk and maintain signal integrity. Each RJ45 connector carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and a snagless molded PVC boot that protects the locking clip during routing. The unshielded UTP construction keeps the cable flexible for tight bends.

Practical limits of the Cat6a 10GBASE-T standard

The Cat6a standard guarantees 10 Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters at 500MHz, so this 7ft length operates well within the specification margin. Performance will drop to the lowest category device in the link, so Cat5e ports will limit throughput to 1 Gigabit. Unshielded UTP cables can be more susceptible to external interference in electrically noisy environments than shielded alternatives.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the Cat6a standard on this cable cap at for 10GBASE-T?

The Cat6a rating on this cable supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres at 500 MHz.

What physical space does the 6.9 mm outer diameter and snagless boot need to clear?

The 6.9 mm cable body plus the molded snagless boot require a pathway wide enough for the boot to pass without forcing the clip.

How do you seat the 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors so the locking tab clicks?

Push each RJ45 plug straight in until the tab clicks; the snagless boot protects the clip but you must feel the positive latch.
