GigaTrue 3 Cat 6 Lockable Patch Cable

The GigaTrue 3 Cat 6 patch cable carries RJ-45 male connectors at both ends for standard Ethernet links. A 5 ft length suits short runs between a wall outlet, patch panel or switch and a desktop, laptop or network appliance. The blue jacket simplifies colour-coded cable management in racks or under desks.

Suited for fixed links that need a secure fit

The lockable tab prevents accidental disconnection when equipment is moved or cables are routed through tight channels. Installers who prefer a standard non-locking release should select a different cable, as the locking mechanism requires a deliberate squeeze to unplug.

Rated 550 MHz for Cat 6 bandwidth

The cable is specified to 550 MHz, supporting the full Category 6 frequency range for 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet over short distances. Verify that your switch, NIC and cabling infrastructure are also Cat 6 rated to obtain the expected throughput.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 ft Category 6 cable generate any heat or draw power during continuous use?

No, the passive copper patch cable carries only network signals and requires no external power, so it produces no measurable heat.

What equipment must I already have to use the RJ-45 connectors on this patch cable?

You need two devices with standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports, such as a router, switch, PC or network-attached storage unit.

Will the 550 MHz Category 6 cable work with my existing Cat 5e wall jacks and slower switches?

Yes, the cable is backwards compatible and will operate at the speed of the lowest-rated component in the link.
