15ft Cat6a Patch Cable

This 15ft Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link for gaming consoles, PCs, routers and NAS devices. The purple jacket and snagless boots keep a desk or entertainment centre tidy while the RJ45 connectors click securely into any standard port. It is built for anyone who wants a stable, low-latency connection without relying on Wi-Fi.

Drop-in upgrade from Cat5e or Cat6

The cable meets the Cat6a standard at 500MHz and runs 10GBASE-T up to 100m, so it replaces older Cat5e or Cat6 patch leads with no hardware changes. The jump is worth it when you need consistent 10 Gigabit throughput for large file transfers, competitive gaming or 4K streaming over a wired backbone. Backward compatibility means it works instantly with existing switches and routers.

10 Gigabit headroom for home and office

Four twisted pairs around a 6.9mm cross-spline core and 50-micron gold-plated contacts deliver the signal integrity needed for full 10Gbps speed. The 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors handle PoE injectors and long runs to patch panels without signal loss. It runs out of headroom only beyond the 100m channel limit defined by the standard.

Questions about this item

What outer diameter and connector type does this 15ft Cat6a cable have?

The cable measures 6.9 mm in outer diameter and uses 8P8C RJ45 connectors on both ends.

How do I seat the RJ45 plugs correctly and what common mistake should I avoid?

Push each RJ45 plug in until the locking tab clicks; do not force it past the snagless boot or the clip can bend.

When should I replace this purple Cat6a patch cable?

Replace it if the boot cracks, the gold-plated contacts corrode, or you see kinks that degrade the 10GBASE-T signal.
