Description
Intended for Wired Home and Office Networks
- The Category 6 cable is the cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols. A Category 6 Ethernet Patch Cable is also referred to as a Cat6 Network Cable, Cat6 Cable, Cat6 Ethernet Cable, or Cat6 Data/LAN Cable.
- The cable's RJ45 connectors offer universal connectivity to computers and network components, such as routers, switch boxes, network printers, and network attached storage devices.
Built for Future-proof Speed and Reliable Connectivity
- Category 6a (Augmented Category 6) is defined at higher frequencies than Cat6. Cable Matters Cat6a SSTP Patch Cable is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet).
- Our cables are made of 100% bare copper wire as opposed to copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire, therefore fully compliant with UL Code 444, which require pure bare copper wire in Cat6a communications cables. Our Cat6 patch and bulk cables are used by data centers around the world.
Double Shielded Construction
- SSTP/SFTP: foiled and screened shielding between individual pairs and four pairs as a whole can prevent electromagnetic interference and boost cable performance.

Customer Reviews
CableMatters Cat 6a ethernet cableDZ102030
I purchased a 25 and 125 foot cable to upgrade my home LAN from Cat5e to Cat6a. I have a new TV that can stream from a DLNA server, so I implemented a Synology NAS and decided to ensure the network will run fast. I actually ran a packet test after installing the new cables, and the speed did increase according to the test results. My understanding is that Cat5e can run as fast as 6a, but is more susceptible to speed loss due to interference and cross talk. Also, Cat 6a is certified to run at higher frequencies and will support Gigabit Ethernet. Keep in mind that you'll have to upgrade your switches to Gigabit Ethernet as well, the network will only run as fast as the slowest component. I am quite pleased with these cables, they do not seem to be any larger in diameter, or any stiffer than the cables they replaced. I subsequently purchased some shorter CableMatters cables to connect devices to the switches.
Great cable, well madeVivian R. Queija
This cable is great, didn't kink as I strung it across the room to a smart TV. The shields are attached well and feel like they won't come off.
Great quality shipped quickly!Kathleen M. Mccarthy
I am delighted with the purchase of this and a couple of other patch cables from Cable Matters. Everything was great quality and delivered quickly. The selection was great to enable us to get the right cabels at the right lengths for a reasonable price. we now have our entire computer network and entertainment system connected through our house.Thanks!Kathleen
Server grade patch cableMark Twain
Amazing quality, the heads will give a tight fit with no wobble like other cables; the lock in piece keeps the cable in place to prevent it from pulling out. And it comes at a very low price.
Fast ShippingDragonRider
The cables arrived extremely fast, from the seller. These Cat 6 cables allow me to connect with my router at 1 Gbps. I like the heavy duty shielded feel of the cables, and the secure snap in ends. None of those silly "rubber duckies" on the ends that get in your way, and always seem to break the plastic clips. These end clips are easy to hold, and fasten to the connector tight and securely. A very good value, and performance.
Two stars at bestTravis
We'll start with my background. I am AMP+ cabling certified and work as a Level 3 Systems Engineer. With that said this cable is garbage and should by no means be CAT6 rated. (Not even CAT5.) I was going to use this cable (because it is shielded) to terminate my Verizon FIOS ONT to my indoor router at home instead of running bulk cable and terminating the ends myself to save some time. Unfortunately, this cable did not fit through the pre-drilled hole in my wall (not the manufacturers fault) so I had to hack off one of the terminated ends. No biggie, I thought, since I could just re-terminate the end after I ran the cable through my exterior wall to the inside.After removing the sheathing at one end to re-terminate I noticed a few alarming things about the quality of this cable. Yes, it is shielded as each pair of wires are wrapped in a foil and it has shielding over all of the pairs; HOWEVER, the pairs are VERY thin wires. Much thinner than that of good quality stranded pair cabling. Now to top all of this dissatisfaction off I noticed that the white wires were not color coded. They were white only. As in I could not re-terminate the end because I could not pick out which white wire went with which pair.Needless to say I threw the cable in the trash and ended up running an un-shielded CAT6 cable I had lying around instead. Which was of good quality that I purchased a while ago from MicroBarn.
Ethernet cablesStephen X Keeler
Works just fine.All my computers are now hardwired for faster internet access. Blowing out 58 MPS and 32 MPS upload.
Good cableStephen Kelley
Not too much to say. Better quality than cheap cables. Tight connection. Is feeding high resolution audio files to a high end audio device with no hiccups.
