Nippon Labs 60CAT6A-2BK Cat6A UTP network ethernet cable 2 ft Black 24AWG

Short patch cable for 10 GbE runs

This two-foot Cat6A UTP patch cord connects network gear in racks, cabinets or on desks where a short link is required. Stranded 24 AWG pure-copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts support 10,000Base-T Ethernet up to 100 meters. The cable is rated for 500 MHz minimum frequency and 550 MHz bandwidth. It suits installers and home users who need a reliable gigabit or 10 GbE jumper.

Booted RJ45 plugs and T568B wiring

Moulded boots protect the latch during repeated insertion and removal, reducing the chance of a broken tab that causes intermittent contact. The cable follows T568B pinout, so it matches most patch-panel and wall-plate terminations without crossover adapters. Because the jacket is CM-rated PVC, it cannot be run in plenum spaces; verify local fire codes before routing through air-handling areas. UTP construction means no ground-loop issues, but also no shield for high-EMI environments.

100-metre channel limit and UTP constraints

The 10 GbE specification allows a 100 metre channel including all patch cords, so this two-foot length consumes only a small fraction of the budget. UTP cables rely on pair twist for crosstalk suppression; tight bends, kinks or staple guns can degrade performance beyond the 500 MHz rating. PoE applications benefit from the 24 AWG conductors' lower resistance, yet the cable carries no temperature derating data. For outdoor, direct-burial or plenum routes, a different jacket type is required.
