Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gigabit links

This eight-foot Cat6a patch cable carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper between two RJ-45 male connectors. It is built for network adapters, switches, routers, modems and patch panels that present 10GBase-T ports. The blue PVC jacket and moulded snagless boots make it easy to identify and pull through cable management without catching.

Verify port speed and cabling plan

Confirm that both endpoints expose 10GBase-T ports rather than slower or fibre interfaces. Ensure the eight-foot reach matches the distance between devices and that your rack or desk layout can accommodate a single straight-through patch cord. The cable is unshielded, so avoid routing it directly alongside high-current power conductors.

Consistent throughput over long runs

Bonded pair construction preserves twist spacing to the termination point, keeping Near-End Crosstalk and structural return loss low during continuous 10 Gbps traffic. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that could degrade signal integrity over months of sustained use. The PVC jacket meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements for reliable performance under constant load.

Questions about this item

Does the 8 ft Cat6a cable come with both RJ-45 connectors already attached, or do I need to buy plugs separately?

The cable arrives with an RJ-45 male connector on each end, gold-plated and covered by a moulded snagless PVC hood, so no separate plugs are required.

Should I choose the shielded or unshielded version of this 8 ft Cat6a cable for a typical home or office run?

This model is unshielded (UTP) with a PVC jacket and bonded pairs; it meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a component requirements and is designed for standard 10GBase-T connections in normal environments.

What real-world speed can I expect from the 10 Gigabit rating when the 00696 cable is plugged into my switch and PC?

When connected to 10GBase-T ports on both ends, the cable supports full 10 Gigabit data transmission; actual throughput depends on the linked devices and network configuration.
