Cable Leader 100ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable / High Speed LAN Patch Cable, 10 Gigabit RJ45, 500MHz 24AWG Bare Copper UTP, Orange, for Long Runs, Router, Home & Office Network

The Cable Leader 100ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable - also known as a LAN cable or RJ45 network patch cable - delivers a fast, reliable 10 Gigabit wired connection for home, office and networking setups.

Built to the Cat6a standard, it supports 10GBASE-T networking up to 100 meters at 500MHz and is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it drops straight into your existing network with no change to your equipment.

At 100ft, this cable is built for long runs between rooms, floors or across a building, giving you a stable wired connection in places where Wi-Fi drops out or slows down. It is equally at home running between a router and a distant switch, access point, smart TV or office workstation.

Each cable is made with 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors arranged in 4 twisted pairs around a cross-shaped spline ( 6.9 mm outer diameter) to reduce crosstalk, and is terminated with 8P8C RJ45 connectors featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts and snagless molded strain-relief boots. RoHS compliant and UL & ETL Verified.

Compatible with routers, modems, network switches, PoE injectors, gaming consoles (PS5, Xbox), desktop PCs, NAS units, smart TVs and patch panels. Available in multiple lengths and 9 colors across the C6110 family (Orange shown), backed by the Cable Leader Lifetime Warranty.

Cat5e vs Cat6 vs Cat6a:
- Cat5e: up to 1 Gbps, 100 MHz - basic home and office use.
- Cat6: up to 1-10 Gbps over short runs, 250 MHz - everyday gigabit.
- Cat6a: 10 Gbps to the full 100 m, 500 MHz - gaming, 10G and future-proofing.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a?
A: Cat6a holds full 10 Gigabit speed across the entire 100-meter range at 500MHz, while Cat6 only reaches 10G over short distances.
Q: Will this work with my PS5, router or PoE device?
A: Yes. The RJ45 connectors are backward compatible with standard Ethernet ports and PoE equipment.
Q: How fast is this cable?
A: Up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T) on the Cat6a standard at 500MHz.
Q: Is it good for gaming and longer runs?
A: Yes. The stranded bare copper stays flexible for tidy routing and holds 10G performance up to 100 meters.
Q: Which length should I choose?
A: Measure the distance between your devices and add a little slack; the C6110 family ranges from 1ft up to 300ft.
