StarTech.com - 3ft CAT6 Ethernet Cable - Yellow CAT 6 Gigabit Ethernet Wire -250MHz 100W PoE RJ45 UTP Network/Patch Cord Snagless

This Cat6 Ethernet Cable is an RJ45 male-to-male network patch cord for connecting computers and LAN devices to routers, modems, switches, hubs, patch panels, servers, printers, smart TVs, game consoles, NAS systems, and network media players. The cable supports bandwidth up to 550MHz and data rates up to 10Gbps on compatible Ethernet networks. Four unshielded twisted pairs help reduce crosstalk, while gold-plated 8P8C RJ45 contacts support stable signal transmission. Stranded copper-clad aluminum conductors, a flexible PVC jacket, molded strain relief, and snagless boots provide dependable everyday connectivity and help protect the retaining clips during installation.

This Cat 6a Ethernet cable - also sold as a Cat6a LAN cable, internet cable or RJ45 network cord - runs high speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 m over four twisted pairs of 24 AWG stranded bare copper rated to 500 MHz: a thicker conductor than the 26 AWG common at this price, and bare copper rather than copper-clad aluminum. A wired link removes the jitter and sudden drop-outs Wi-Fi introduces, which is why cabling a desk, console or streaming box is worth it even where wireless reaches. Each RJ45 plug carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts wired to T568B, and a snagless molded boot guards the locking tab behind a desk. Backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat6. Compatible with Netgear, TP-Link, ASUS, Linksys, Eero, Ubiquiti, Synology and QNAP gear. Stocked in 3, 5, 7, 10ft, 14, 15, 20, 25, 50 and 100 ft - short desk jumpers through long Ethernet cables between rooms. Measure the path the cable travels, not the straight line. Best for: home offices, gaming setups, routers, modems and smart TVs. Not for: in-wall runs, outdoors, or electrically noisy rooms.

Category 6a standard was defined in February 2008 in TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10. Cat6a can currently support 10 Gbit/s applications up to a maximum distance of 100 meters (330 ft). Improved specifications, particularly in the area of Alien Cross-talk (AXT) as compared to category 6 which exhibited high alien noise in high frequencies.
