6 ft Cat6a patch cable for 10GBase-T

This six-foot Cat6a unshielded patch cable is built for 10GBase-T ports on network adapters, switches, routers, DSL or cable modems and patch panels. It suits installers and IT teams who need a short, colour-coded link that meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a channel requirements and supports 10 Gigabit data transmission over four-pair copper. The snagless hood eases insertion in high-density switch ports.

Cat6a 100-metre channel limit applies

The Cat6a standard guarantees 10 Gigabit performance up to 100 metres of installed channel, so this six-foot lead consumes only a small fraction of that budget. Alien crosstalk performance is verified by the manufacturer, but the unshielded construction means the cable relies on the surrounding environment for noise immunity. Installers must still observe the total channel length and bend-radius rules defined by the standard.

Replaces shorter Cat6 runs that cannot reach 10

Current Cat6 cabling systems may only support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over limited distances, so this Cat6a lead upgrades those links without recabling the entire run. The jump is worth it when a 10GBase-T port negotiates at lower speeds because the existing Cat6 segment exceeds its distance allowance. It is not for buyers who need shielded cable for electrically noisy environments or who require lengths beyond the 100-metre channel limit.

Questions about this item

Which length should I pick if I need a short patch cable for a 10 Gigabit link?

The 6 ft Cat6a cable is designed for 10GBase-T ports and supports 10 Gigabit transmission up to 100 meters, so this length works well for rack or desk connections.

What does the Cat6a rating actually deliver when I plug it into my switch?

It meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a channel requirements and enables 10 Gigabit data transmission over four copper pairs at distances up to 100 meters.

Will the RJ-45 connectors fit a high-density patch panel without blocking adjacent ports?

Yes, the snagless hood is designed for high-density switch applications and the unshielded RJ-45 male connectors on both ends fit standard ports.
