Amazon Basics Cat 6 Ethernet Cable 15ft

This Amazon Basics Cat 6 Ethernet cable provides a wired network link for computers, printers, routers and other RJ45 devices. It uses unshielded twisted-pair construction with bare copper conductors and gold-plated contacts. The 15-foot length suits typical desk or rack runs. A snagless plug design protects the latch during repeated connections.

Suits gigabit and 10 gigabit links up to 250 MHz

The cable supports transmission speeds up to 10 gigabit per second at 250 MHz bandwidth, matching Cat 6 performance for home and office networks. Builders who need shielded cable for high-interference environments or longer runs beyond the specified length should consider a different category or construction. It is not intended for outdoor burial or plenum spaces.

Check connector spacing

Verify that the 6.2mm diameter and snagless boots fit the port density on your switch, router or patch panel. Ensure the 15-foot reach covers the distance between devices without tension. The 24 AWG gauge and flexible PVC jacket allow moderate bends, but sharp corners or tight conduits may require a different cable type.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 ports do my router and computer need for this Cat 6 cable to work?

Any standard RJ45 Ethernet port on a router, switch, computer, printer or other networked device will accept the connectors on this cable.

Will this cable run at 10 Gbps when I keep my older Cat 5e patch panel and switch?

The link will negotiate to the lowest common standard, so with Cat 5e hardware the maximum speed drops to 1 Gbps despite the 250 MHz bandwidth of this cable.

How can I verify the 10 Gbps link is active after I plug in the 15 foot cable?

Check the connection status in your operating system or router interface; it should report a 10 Gbps link speed when both ends support that rate.
