Nippon Labs 60CAT6A-6OR Cat6A UTP network ethernet cable 6 ft orange 24 AWG

6 ft Cat6A UTP patch cable

This 6 ft Cat6A UTP patch cable provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for LAN components such as PCs, servers, printers, routers and switches. It uses 4-pair stranded pure copper conductors at 24 AWG and terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The orange CM-rated PVC jacket follows the T568B wiring standard. It suits installers who need a short, certified link for high-speed copper networks.

Installation and common issues

The booted connectors feature moulded strain-relief boots and snagless moulds that protect the latch during routing through panels or cable managers. Simply push the RJ45 plugs into compatible ports until they click; no tools are required. The stranded construction makes the cable flexible for tight bends, but the 6 ft length limits reach between distant rack units. Users must ensure both ends connect to Cat6A-rated hardware to achieve the rated 500 MHz performance.

10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper

This cable is specified for 10,000Base-T operation up to 100 metres (328 feet) at a minimum frequency of 500 MHz, making the 10 Gigabit Ethernet rating the decisive specification. It is compliant with TIA/EIA standards verified by UL and ETL and meets RoHS requirements. Buyers who need shielded construction for noisy industrial environments or longer runs beyond the 6 ft length should select a different cable type.
