6 ft Cat6A UTP cable for 10 GbE links

This 6 ft red patch cable uses Cat6A-rated unshielded twisted-pair construction with 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors. It terminates in RJ45 plugs on both ends and is built to handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 100 metres. The CM-rated PVC jacket meets in-wall fire-code requirements for residential and light-commercial runs.

Simple RJ45 plug-in install; watch bend radius

Installation is a straight push of the gold-plated RJ45 connectors into any standard port — no tools required. Because the cable is unshielded, keep it clear of power cables and fluorescent ballasts to avoid induced noise. The stranded conductors tolerate repeated flexing, but sharp bends tighter than the jacket allows will degrade the 500 MHz performance envelope.

Suits short 10 GbE drops in homes and small offices

This length works well for desk-to-switch or patch-panel links where 10 GbE throughput is needed over a short run. Buyers needing longer permanent links, shielded cable for high-EMI environments, or plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces should look at other constructions.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering 10 Gigabit speeds after connecting it?

Check the link speed in your operating system or switch management interface; a negotiated rate of 10 Gbps confirms the 500 MHz Cat6A cable is operating at its rated 10,000Base-T capability.

What comes with the cable and do I need any extra parts to use it?

The 6 ft red patch cable arrives terminated with RJ45 plugs on both ends, wired to the T568B standard with 50 micron gold contacts; no additional connectors or tools are required for a standard Ethernet connection.

Which Cat6A version should I pick for a 10 Gigabit home network?

This 6 ft UTP stranded copper cable with CM-rated PVC jacket is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 metres, so the listed 6 ft length is the correct choice for typical desktop or patch-panel runs.
