Nippon Labs 60CAT6A-3BL Cat6A UTP network ethernet cable 3 ft Blue

Three-foot Cat6A patch cable

This 3 ft Category 6A UTP patch cable connects network devices with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The CM-rated PVC jacket meets TIA/EIA standards verified by UL and ETL and is RoHS compliant. Wiring follows the T568B standard.

100-metre channel limit for 10 Gigabit Ethernet

Cat6A supports 10Base-T through 10000Base-T Ethernet up to 100 metres (328 feet) per channel. The cable operates at a minimum frequency of 500 MHz with a 550 MHz rating for higher bandwidth. Unshielded twisted-pair construction provides crosstalk suppression and better heat dissipation for Power over Ethernet applications. This three-foot length is suited for short patch connections within that channel budget.

Category 6A rating decides 10 Gigabit suitability

The single specification that determines whether this cable meets a build requirement is the Cat6A classification, which guarantees 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over copper at 500 MHz minimum. Buyers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or longer permanent-link runs should select a different construction.
