5 ft Cat 6 patch cable for Gigabit Ethernet

This stranded Cat 6 patch cable measures 5 ft and uses 26 AWG conductors with gold-plated RJ-45 plugs on both ends. It is tested to the 250 MHz Cat 6 standard and supports Gigabit Ethernet, voice, data, audio/video and PoE signals. The moulded snagless boot protects the connector tab and provides strain relief. The blue jacket is RoHS compliant.

Home and office runs needing a short Cat 6 link

Suitable for connecting a PC, switch, router, access point or IP camera where a 5 ft blue cable fits the layout. The stranded construction makes it flexible for patch-panel or desk-side use. Not suited for installations that require a longer reach, solid-core cable for in-wall runs, shielded cable for high-EMI environments or a different colour for cable-management coding.

Snagless boot and gold contacts improve daily

The moulded boot prevents the RJ-45 latch from catching on adjacent cables, reducing accidental disconnects during moves. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, maintaining low resistance over repeated insertions. RoHS compliance confirms the materials meet restricted-substance requirements. No software or additional accessories are bundled with this cable.

Questions about this item

What RJ-45 ports must my devices have to use this 5 ft CAT6 patch cable?

Both devices need standard RJ-45 network ports; the cable has a male RJ-45 connector on each end for a direct patch connection.

Will this 26 AWG CAT6 cable work with my older Cat 5e switches and routers?

Yes, the Category 6 cable is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 equipment, supporting Gigabit Ethernet across the link.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the tested 250 MHz CAT6 performance after I plug it in?

Verify a stable Gigabit link light on both ports and run a network throughput test to confirm full-speed data transfer without errors.
