Cable Leader 12ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable / High Speed LAN Patch Cable, 10 Gigabit RJ45, 500MHz 24AWG Bare Copper UTP, Black, for Gaming, PS5, Xbox & PC

The Cable Leader 12ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable - also known as a LAN cable or RJ45 network patch cable - delivers a fast, reliable 10 Gigabit wired connection for gaming, home and office networks.

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.

A wired Cat6a link to your PS5, Xbox or gaming PC cuts lag, jitter and packet loss compared with Wi-Fi, and the 12ft length keeps your desk or console setup tidy. It is just as useful for connecting a router, modem, NAS or smart TV anywhere in the home or office.

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 (Black 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.
