Cable Leader Cat6a Ethernet Cable 1ft Orange 24AWG UTP 500MHz 10GBASE-T

1ft Cat6a patch cable for wired gaming

This 1-foot orange Cat6a cable provides a short, tidy link between a PS5, Xbox, gaming PC or router and a nearby switch or wall jack. The 10GBASE-T rating at 500MHz means it handles 10 Gigabit traffic without the latency, jitter or packet loss typical of Wi-Fi. Stranded 24AWG bare copper conductors and a cross-spline core keep the signal clean across the four twisted pairs. Snagless moulded boots protect the locking clips during frequent reconnects.

10 Gigabit headroom up to 100 metres on Cat6a

Rated for 10GBASE-T across the full 100 metre Cat6a channel, the cable has ample bandwidth for multi-gigabit internet plans, NAS transfers and 4K streaming. It is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e gear, so it drops into existing runs without replacing switches or patch panels. The 1ft length is intended for patch-panel-to-switch or console-to-router hops; longer runs need a longer cable. Maximum throughput depends on the connected ports and cabling standard, not on this patch cord alone.

Low-profile construction runs cool

As a passive copper cable it adds no heat, fan noise or electrical load to the rack or desk. The 6.9mm outer diameter and flexible PVC jacket route cleanly through tight cable-management channels without kinking. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts resist oxidation for reliable mating cycles, and the snagless boot prevents clip breakage during moves. RoHS compliant and UL & ETL verified for safety in home and office environments.
