5 ft Cat6 patch cable for dense installs

This five-foot Cat6 patch cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors and non-booted RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold contacts. The slim connector profile fits tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks in data centres, server rooms and structured cabling. It is designed for installers who need reliable Gigabit links where space and airflow are limited.

Cat6 bandwidth ceiling and 10G distance limit

The Cat6 standard guarantees 250 MHz performance; this cable is tested to 550 MHz for extra margin. Gigabit Ethernet runs at full 100 metre segments, while 10 Gigabit Ethernet is only supported over short runs. Installations that require certified 10G at full distance need a higher category cable.

Non-booted plug decides fit in high-density panels

The absence of a molded boot is the single specification that determines whether this cable seats cleanly in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks. Booted cables will not fit or will block adjacent ports in the same hardware. Choose this version only when the physical connector clearance requires a non-booted design.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 5 ft blue Cat6 cable or a different length from the C6102 family?

Pick the length that matches the distance between your devices plus a little slack; the C6102 family offers the same 24AWG bare copper construction and 550MHz rating in other lengths and colours.

What does the 550MHz rating mean for my actual network speed?

The cable is tested to 550MHz, well above the Cat6 minimum of 250MHz, so it reliably carries Gigabit Ethernet and can handle 10G over short runs in your rack or office.

Will the RJ45 connectors fit my high-density patch panel and support PoE?

Yes, the non-booted 8P8C plugs with 50-micron gold contacts seat easily in tight patch panels and keystone jacks, and the bare copper conductors carry PoE without issue.
