Cable length and rating

This five‑foot Cat6a patch cable carries a 10 Gbps rating and is tested to the 100 % Fluke standard. It suits anyone linking switches, routers or servers at up to ten gigabit speeds over short runs. The black UTP jacket keeps the install looking clean.

Snagless RJ45 connectors

Both ends use snagless RJ45 male plugs that slide through cable managers and patch panels without catching on release tabs. The main installer error is forcing a bent latch, which can break the clip and leave a loose connection. Route the cable gently and verify each click seats fully.

10 Gbps headroom and limits

At five feet the cable comfortably handles full 10 Gbps throughput for 10GBASE‑T links and passes PoE power under the 802.3af DTE‑power spec. It is not rated for longer channels, outdoor burial or shielded environments where alien crosstalk would exceed the Cat6a unshielded budget.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering 10Gbps after installation?

Run a network speed test between two 10Gbps-capable devices; the FLUKE certification and ETL/UL verification confirm the cable meets Cat6a performance standards for 10Gbps over 5 ft.

What comes in the package and what extra items might I need?

The box contains one 5 ft black Cat6a UTP snagless patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends; no additional components are required for a standard Ethernet link.

Which cable length should I choose for my setup?

This model is a fixed 5 ft length; select it when the distance between your switch, router or device and the wall jack or patch panel is approximately 5 ft.
