Astrotek CAT6A Shielded Ethernet Cable 5m Blue – 10GbE RJ45 S/FTP LSZH Patch Lead 26AWG Copper

That 5-metre gap between the patch panel and the desk is where most cheap cables start dropping packets. You don't need another mystery lead that works for a month then starts playing up. This Astrotek CAT6A is shielded, snagless, and rated for 10GbE out of the box. Blue so you can spot it in the tray without crawling on your hands. Plug it in, run a speed test, walk away. It's in stock here, not sitting in some warehouse 900 km away
