3 ft Cat6A patch cable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet

This 3 ft Cat6A UTP patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and RJ45 plugs with 50 micron gold-plated contacts. It is wired to the T568B standard and covered by a CM-rated PVC jacket. The purple colour helps identify the link in a busy rack or desk.

Sustained 500 MHz bandwidth

The cable meets a minimum 500 MHz frequency rating and a 550 MHz bandwidth rating, supporting 10 000Base-T speeds over the full 100 metre channel. Unshielded twisted-pair construction suppresses alien crosstalk during continuous high-throughput loads. CM-grade PVC resists heat build-up in Power over Ethernet deployments.

Verify connector spacing

The booted RJ45 plugs add strain relief but increase the depth required at each port; check that adjacent ports or wall plates allow the extra clearance. Confirm the 3 ft length reaches between your switch and device without tension. Ensure the pathway avoids sharp bends that could deform the 24 AWG stranded pairs.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and CM PVC jacket handle continuous PoE loads without overheating in a 24/7 rack?

The 24 AWG stranded pure copper wires and CM type PVC jacket are designed for better heat dissipation during PoE applications, supporting sustained power delivery alongside 10 Gigabit data.

Do I need shielded ports or grounded patch panels for this unshielded Cat6A cable to reach 10 Gigabit speeds?

No. The UTP design with 4-pair 24 AWG stranded copper and 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 plugs meets TIA/EIA Cat6A requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over standard unshielded ports.

Can I mix this 3 ft Cat6A patch cord with my existing Cat5e and Cat6 runs without creating a bottleneck?

Yes. The cable is backward compatible with 10Base-T, 100Base-T and 1000Base-T, so it will operate at the highest speed each connected device supports.
