Nippon Labs 60CAT6A-5PU Cat6A network ethernet cable 5 ft Purple

5 ft Cat6A patch cable for 10 GbE links

This five-foot purple patch cable is built to the Cat6A specification and rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 metres. It uses 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors in a four-pair UTP layout and terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The CM-rated PVC jacket meets TIA/EIA requirements verified by UL and ETL, and the wiring follows the T568B standard. It suits installers who need a short, certified link for switches, servers or wall plates.

Booted connectors and gold plating reduce wear

Each end carries a moulded boot that protects the latch and the cable entry point during repeated insertion. The 50 micron gold plating on the contact pins resists oxidation, maintaining low contact resistance over many mating cycles. The stranded conductor construction keeps the cable flexible for routing in tight cabinets or around patch panels without compromising the 500 MHz minimum frequency rating. These features extend service life in high-churn environments.

Verify port spacing and cable management space

The booted plugs add bulk compared with non-booted designs, so confirm that adjacent ports on your switch or panel have enough clearance for the latch release. The five-foot length is fixed; measure the exact run between devices to avoid excess slack or tension. Ensure the CM jacket rating satisfies local fire-code requirements for the intended installation pathway. The purple colour aids visual identification but does not affect electrical performance.
