Purpose and audience

This 5-foot Cat6A UTP patch cable connects routers, switches, PCs and other RJ45 devices in home or office networks. It suits anyone needing a short, ready-made link for gigabit or 10-gigabit Ethernet.

Deciding specification

The cable is rated for 500 MHz minimum frequency and supports 10,000Base-T Ethernet up to 100 meters, so the key figure is the Cat6A class that guarantees 10 Gb/s throughput over copper.

Bundled accessories and software

Moulded boots protect the RJ45 plugs during repeated insertion, while 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion. The CM-grade PVC jacket meets UL and ETL safety listings and RoHS requirements.

Questions about this item

What does the 10,000Base-T rating mean once this cable is installed in a real machine?

It means the cable can carry 10 Gigabit Ethernet traffic at full line rate when both endpoints and the switch ports also support 10GBASE-T, delivering the throughput the hardware is capable of.

What does the 500 MHz minimum frequency cap in practice?

The 500 MHz rating sets the bandwidth ceiling that allows 10 Gigabit Ethernet to run reliably over the full 100 metre channel, so the cable will not be the bottleneck at that speed.

What does the 24 AWG stranded copper and RJ45 plug need to fit or mount?

The stranded 24 AWG conductors terminate in standard RJ45 plugs with 50 micron gold contacts, so they snap directly into any RJ45 jack on a switch, router, NIC or patch panel without adapters.
