Wired network link for desktops and laptops

This 14 ft Cat6 patch cable connects a computer to a wall outlet, modem, router or other networking device. It uses RJ45 male connectors on both ends with 50-micron gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance. The unshielded twisted-pair construction suits typical home and office runs. It supports 100/1000BASE-T networks at up to 1 gigabit per second.

Sustained throughput on long runs

Internal load bars keep plug positioning accurate so performance stays consistent during continuous data transfer. The 4 UTP 24 AWG stranded copper pairs reduce crosstalk, giving superior immunity from external noise. Fewer retransmissions and lost packets mean stable gigabit speeds over the full 14 ft length. The cable meets Cat6 specifications for structured cabling infrastructure.

Upgrade from Cat5 or shorter cables

Replaces older Cat5 cables that do not use all four twisted pairs, delivering greater bandwidth and speed. The jump is worth it when you need reliable gigabit connectivity over a 14 ft distance without shielded cable bulk. It is not for runs requiring shielding, lengths beyond 14 ft, or installations needing pre-terminated trunk cables.

Questions about this item

Does the unshielded 24 AWG Cat6 cable generate any heat or electrical noise when running a 1000 Mbps link all day?

No, the 24 AWG UTP copper conductors carry only low-voltage Ethernet signals and produce no measurable heat or audible noise during continuous gigabit operation.

What network ports must my router, modem or wall outlet already provide for this RJ45 male-to-male patch cable to work?

You need standard RJ45 female ports — the same 8-pin sockets found on virtually all home routers, cable modems, wall plates and PC network cards.

Will this Cat6 patch cable run at full speed when plugged into my older Cat5e wall jacks and 100 Mbps switch?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible; it will negotiate 100 Mbps on 100BASE-T gear and 1 Gbps on gigabit ports while using the same RJ45 connectors.
