Color Pink

  • Gigabit wired speed tested to 550MHz bandwidth
  • 24AWG bare copper conductors with PE divider
  • Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for lasting signal
  • Snagless boot protects clip and prevents tangles
  • Pink jacket enables quick port identification

Purpose-built short-run patch cable

This one-foot Cat6 patch cable is made for tight, color-coded connections inside a rack, behind a desk or between a console and a nearby switch. Stranded 24AWG bare copper conductors and a PE divider keep the signal clean at 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 baseline. The pink jacket makes port identification instant in dense panels.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper cable it draws no power, generates no heat and adds no audible noise to the installation. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts on the 8P8C plugs resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over repeated insertions. The snagless boot protects the locking tab without adding bulk.

Upgrade path and fit

It replaces any Cat5e patch cord where a certified Cat6 link is preferred for Gigabit Ethernet or short-run 10G segments. The jump is worth it when you need verified 550MHz headroom, color-coded cable management or a snagless boot that survives frequent re-patching. Not suited for long horizontal runs, PoE injector distances or outdoor burial.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 1ft Cat6 cable without damaging the locking clip?

Push the RJ45 plug straight into the port until the snagless boot clicks; the PVC boot is color-matched to the pink jacket and shields the clip from snagging during insertion.

What maintenance will the gold-plated contacts need over time?

The 50-micron gold plating on the 8P8C contacts resists corrosion, so no cleaning or re-termination is required under normal indoor use.

What is the first performance limit I will hit on a sustained 10Gbps run?

The cable is tested to 550MHz, but Cat6 10Gbps operation is only guaranteed up to 55 metres; at 1ft you stay well within that distance limit.
