Cat 6A cable for 10 GbE links

This six-foot yellow patch cable uses unshielded twisted-pair construction rated for Category 6A performance. It terminates in RJ45 connectors wired to the T568B standard and supports 10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000Base-T and 10000Base-T Ethernet. The stranded 24 AWG pure copper conductors are designed for flexible routing between network devices.

Passive cable with gold-plated contacts

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and generates no heat or noise during operation. The moulded strain-relief boots and snagless connector housings protect the 50 micron gold-plated contacts from corrosion and mechanical stress. A CM-rated PVC jacket provides standard flame-retardant protection for indoor installations.

Replaces Cat 5e or Cat 6 runs for 10 GbE

The cable upgrades older links that cannot sustain 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 100 metre channel. Its 500 MHz minimum frequency and improved crosstalk suppression make the jump worthwhile when deploying 10 GbE switches, servers or storage that require the higher bandwidth headroom. It is not suited for shielded or outdoor environments.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the RJ45 connectors into my router and PC without damaging the snagless boots?

Align the latch tab with the port opening, push straight in until you hear a click, and pull the boot back gently if resistance is felt — the molded strain-relief boot and snagless mold protect the 50 micron gold-plated contacts during insertion.

When should I replace this Cat 6A patch cable if the jacket or conductors show wear?

Replace it if the CM PVC jacket is cracked, the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are exposed, or the gold-plated RJ45 contacts show corrosion — any of these will degrade the 500 MHz minimum frequency and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance.

What length limit applies before 10 Gigabit speeds drop on this 6 ft cable?

The Cat 6A standard supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters (328 feet), so a 6 ft patch cord is well within the certified distance and will not be the limiting factor.
