Ideal for short patch runs

This three-foot Cat6A patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and RJ45 plugs with 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The CM-rated PVC jacket meets TIA/EIA standards verified by UL and ETL and is RoHS compliant. It is wired to the T568B standard for broad device compatibility.

Sustained 10 Gigabit throughput

Rated for a minimum frequency of 500 MHz and a 550 MHz bandwidth rating, the cable maintains 10000Base-T performance over its full length. Unshielded twisted-pair construction with crosstalk suppression keeps the signal clean during continuous high-speed transfers. Better heat dissipation supports stable operation in PoE applications.

Replaces Cat5e or Cat6 links

Upgrading from Cat5e or standard Cat6 removes the 1000Base-T bottleneck and enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet across the same 100 metre maximum channel. The jump is worthwhile when switching, server or storage gear negotiates 10G speeds and the existing cabling cannot support the higher frequency. Not suited for installers who need shielded cable for noisy environments or runs longer than the three-foot length supplied.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft Cat6A cable generate heat or noise during all-day PoE use?

The cable is passive and produces no noise. Its 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and 500 MHz rating allow better heat dissipation for PoE applications, so it stays cool during continuous operation.

What devices must I already own to use this RJ45 patch cable?

You need two devices with RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, PC or NAS — that support 10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000Base-T or 10000Base-T speeds. The T568B wiring works with standard network equipment.

Will this Cat6A cable work alongside my older Cat5e runs without slowing the link?

Yes. Each link negotiates its own speed, so a 1000Base-T device on Cat5e and a 10000Base-T device on this Cat6A cable both run at their rated rates. The 550 MHz bandwidth and crosstalk suppression keep the Cat6A segment at full performance.
