25ft Cat6a Patch Cable for 10 Gigabit Networks

This 25-foot Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a wired 10 Gigabit connection for gaming consoles, PCs, routers and NAS devices. It uses 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors arranged in four twisted pairs around a cross-shaped spline. The cable is terminated with RJ45 connectors featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts and snagless molded boots. It is RoHS compliant and UL & ETL Verified.

Practical Limits of the Cat6a Standard

The Cat6a standard supports 10GBASE-T speeds up to 100 meters at 500MHz, allowing this cable to run at full specification across its entire 25ft length. Because it is unshielded UTP, it remains flexible for routing around corners but offers less protection against external electromagnetic interference than shielded alternatives. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e ensures it works with existing slower ports without configuration changes.

10 Gigabit Speed at 500MHz Bandwidth

The decisive specification is the 500MHz bandwidth rating that enables certified 10 Gigabit throughput over the full 100-meter channel. If your network equipment only negotiates 1 Gigabit, this cable will still function correctly but will not increase the link speed beyond the port capability. Buyers needing runs longer than 100 meters or requiring shielded cabling for high-interference environments should select a different product.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a longer or shorter Cat6a cable for my setup?

Choose the 25 ft length if that reaches your router or switch with slack; Cat6a guarantees 10 Gbit/s up to 100 m so a shorter run does not lose speed.

Will the 500 MHz rating actually give me 10 Gbit/s on my PS5 or PC?

Yes — the cable meets the Cat6a standard for 10GBASE-T at 500 MHz, so any 10 Gbit/s port on a PS5, Xbox or PC will run at full line rate over this link.

Is the unshielded UTP design with RJ45 plugs enough for PoE and gigabit switches?

The 24 AWG bare copper pairs and gold-plated 8P8C contacts handle PoE and 10 Gbit/s traffic on any standard RJ45 switch or injector without shielding.
