White 5 ft Cat6 patch cable

A 5-foot Cat6 LAN cable in white with RJ45 connectors on both ends, built to the Cat6 standard and tested to 550 MHz. The non-booted plug design fits tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks, making it suited for data centres, server rooms and structured cabling. It uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts. Backward compatible with Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade.

Sustained throughput on dense runs

Tested to 550 MHz, well above the 250 MHz Cat6 minimum, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10G over short runs without signal degradation in high-density installations. The bare copper twisted pairs maintain reliable signal integrity across long cable trays and bundled pathways. Non-booted plugs reduce insertion force, so repeated re-seating in patch panels does not loosen contacts. RoHS compliant with UL, cUL and ETL listings confirm consistent manufacturing quality.

Non-booted build for daily management

The absence of a molded boot lets each RJ45 plug seat cleanly in 45-degree or straight keystone jacks, improving airflow around dense patch fields. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion through repeated patch changes, while the flexible 24 AWG jacket routes easily around cable managers and through tight conduits. White jacket colour aids visual tracing in multi-colour cabling schemes. Not suited for buyers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or outdoor-rated jackets for direct burial.

Questions about this item

Does the 550 MHz Cat6 cable generate any heat or draw noticeable power during continuous PoE use?

The cable is passive copper with 24 AWG conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts; it carries PoE current without active components, so it produces no measurable heat and draws no power of its own.

What equipment must I already have to use this 5 ft Cat6 patch cable?

You need two devices with standard RJ45 ports — such as a router, switch, patch panel, keystone jack, PC or PoE device — and a free port on each end.

Will this 550 MHz Cat6 cable work reliably with my existing Cat5e patch panel and 100 MHz switch?

Yes; the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and will negotiate Gigabit speeds on 100 MHz hardware while its 550 MHz headroom supports future 10G short-run upgrades.
