Desk-friendly 1 ft patch cable

The Cable Leader Cat6a Ethernet Cable is a 1-foot purple patch cord built to the Cat6a standard with 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors and RJ45 plugs on both ends. It targets gamers and home-office users who want a short, tidy wired link between a console, PC, router or switch without excess cable slack. The compact length keeps desk and entertainment-unit routing clean while still delivering 10 Gigabit performance.

Cross-spline core and gold-plated contacts

A 4-pair cross-spline separator (6.9 mm outer diameter) reduces pair-to-pair crosstalk, and 50-micron gold-plated pins on each 8P8C connector maintain low contact resistance over repeated insertions. Snagless molded boots protect the locking tabs during installation and prevent the clip from catching on adjacent cables. These construction choices preserve signal integrity at 500 MHz and help the cable meet UL and ETL verification.

100-metre channel limit for 10GBASE-T

The Cat6a standard guarantees 10GBASE-T operation up to 100 metres at 500 MHz, so this 1 ft jumper is well within the distance budget when used as part of a compliant channel. Performance beyond 100 metres or at frequencies above 500 MHz is not defined by the standard, and the unshielded UTP design offers no protection against external electromagnetic interference in noisy environments. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e links is assured at their respective rated speeds and distances.

Questions about this item

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

The 50-micron gold plating resists corrosion, so the contacts do not require periodic cleaning or replacement under normal indoor use.

At what length does the 500 MHz bandwidth limit 10 Gbps performance?

The Cat6a standard supports 10GBASE-T at 500 MHz up to 100 meters, so this 1 ft patch cable operates well within that limit.

Does the 6.9 mm jacket and PVC boot trap heat when the cable runs PoE all day?

The unshielded 24 AWG stranded copper and 6.9 mm PVC jacket dissipate PoE heat normally; no active cooling is needed for continuous operation.
