5 ft Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gigabit links

This five-foot Category 6a patch cable carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet over four-pair copper. It is built for installers and network managers who need a short, reliable link between switches, routers, servers or patch panels. The gray jacket allows simple colour-coding in dense racks.

ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 channel limit of 100 metres

The cable meets ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Cat6a channel requirements, so a full channel can reach 100 metres at 10 Gbit/s. At five feet this assembly covers only a small fraction of that budget, leaving ample headroom for the remaining horizontal and patch runs. Alien crosstalk performance is verified for high-density switch environments.

Replaces Cat6 links limited to shorter 10G distances

Older Cat6 cabling often restricts 10 Gigabit Ethernet to reduced lengths. Swapping those patch leads for this Cat6a version restores the full 100-metre channel capability. The upgrade is worth it when 10GBase-T gear is deployed and existing Cat6 runs cannot guarantee the required throughput.
