25 ft Cat6a Cable for 10 Gigabit Networks

This 25-foot Cat6a patch cord connects printers, computers, copiers, routers, servers, modems, hubs and switches in high-density data centres and network closets. It uses RJ45 male connectors at both ends and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over unshielded twisted-pair copper. The blue jacket provides quick visual identification in busy racks.

Slim Diameter Improves Airflow in Crowded Racks

The cable is more than 38 percent smaller in diameter than standard Cat6a cable, which increases airflow around equipment and helps keep hardware cool. Its reduced bulk cuts clutter in dense patch panels and simplifies routing around corners and through cable-management channels. Installers gain extra headroom when space is at a premium.

Snagless Connectors Protect Tabs During Routing

Snagless moulded boots shield the RJ45 locking tabs from catching on adjacent cables or panel edges during installation and maintenance. The unshielded UTP construction avoids the weight and bend-radius constraints of shielded alternatives while still meeting Cat6a performance requirements. No external power or grounding is needed for normal operation.

Questions about this item

Will this Cat6a cable work with my older Cat5e router and gigabit switch?

Yes, the cable is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 equipment, so it will connect your router and switch at up to 1 gigabit speeds.

How can I verify the link is running at 10 gigabit after I plug it in?

Check the port LEDs on both devices; they should show a 10 Gbps connection, and a speed test between two 10 GbE endpoints should report near 10 Gbps throughput.

Does the 25 ft blue cable come with any extra clips or ties, or do I need to buy cable management separately?

The package contains only the snagless RJ45 patch cord; any Velcro straps, clips or patch-panel organizers must be purchased separately.
