3ft Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gigabit gaming

This three-foot Cat6a patch cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link for PS5, Xbox, gaming PCs, routers, switches and NAS devices. It uses 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors with a cross-spline core and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The snagless molded boot protects the locking clip during routing. It is RoHS compliant and UL & ETL Verified.

Upgrade from Cat5e or Cat6 when you need 10GBASE-T

The cable supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres at 500MHz, so it replaces older Cat5e or Cat6 runs that cannot sustain 10 Gigabit speeds over distance. The jump is worth it when you are moving large game files, streaming 4K media or running a PoE injector and need the extra bandwidth headroom. Backward compatibility means it drops into existing ports without hardware changes.

Practical limits of the Cat6a UTP standard

As an unshielded twisted-pair cable, it meets the Cat6a 500MHz specification but remains susceptible to strong electromagnetic interference near power cables or industrial equipment. The 6.9mm outer diameter is thicker than Cat6, so tight conduit fills or sharp bends can degrade performance. Maximum certified reach for 10GBASE-T is 100 metres; beyond that, signal integrity cannot be guaranteed.

Questions about this item

What is the cable's outer diameter and will it fit standard RJ45 ports?

The cable has a 6.9mm outer diameter and uses standard 8P8C RJ45 connectors that fit any Gigabit or 10GBASE-T port on routers, switches, consoles or PCs.

How do I install the cable without damaging the locking tab?

Push the connector straight into the port until the snagless boot clicks; the molded strain-relief boot shields the locking clip so it will not snap off when you route the cable around corners.

When should I replace this patch cable?

Replace it if the gold-plated contacts show corrosion, the boot cracks, or the cable is kinked sharply enough to deform the 24AWG conductors inside the 6.9mm jacket.
