Wired gaming link

This 20ft Cat6a patch cable replaces a wireless link with a stable 10 Gigabit wired connection for PS5, Xbox or gaming PC. The stranded bare copper conductors and cross-spline core keep latency low and packet loss minimal during competitive play. It plugs straight into any router, modem or switch with standard RJ45 ports. No configuration is required beyond inserting the connectors.

500 MHz bandwidth headroom

The cable meets the Cat6a standard at 500 MHz, the single spec that guarantees 10GBASE-T throughput up to 100 metres. Lower-category cables cannot sustain that frequency, so this bandwidth rating is the deciding factor for multi-gigabit internet plans or local NAS transfers. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e means it works with older gear without re-cabling.

Sustained throughput under load

The 6.9 mm outer diameter houses four twisted pairs around a plastic spline that maintains pair separation during long runs and tight bends. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts resist oxidation that degrades signal over months of continuous PoE or 10 Gbps traffic. Snagless boots protect the locking tab so the link stays secure when cables are routed through walls or cable trays.

Questions about this item

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for my network speed?

The cable is certified to carry 10 GBASE-T traffic at up to 500 MHz, so a 20 ft run will sustain a full 10 Gb/s link without signal loss.

Which connector standard does this cable use and what speed does it cap at?

Both ends are 8P8C RJ45 connectors rated for 10 GBASE-T, so the practical ceiling is 10 Gb/s over the full 100 m channel.

What physical space do I need for the 6.9 mm cable and its snagless boots?

The 6.9 mm outer diameter plus the molded snagless boots means you need roughly 10 mm clearance in cable trays, trunking or behind desks for a clean bend radius.
