Short patch cable for tight runs

This one-foot Cat6 patch cable in red is built for short links between a router, switch, console or PC and a wall jack or patch panel. The stranded 24 AWG bare copper conductors and snagless boot make it easy to route in crowded racks or behind desks without stressing the locking clip.

Tested to 550 MHz for headroom

The cable meets the Cat6 standard and is verified at 550 MHz, well above the 250 MHz minimum, so it supports Gigabit Ethernet and can carry 10 Gbps over short distances. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts on the RJ45 plugs resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity across the four twisted pairs.

One-foot limit defines the use case

At 1 ft it cleanly handles desk-side or rack-adjacent connections where longer cables would coil and obstruct airflow. It will not reach across a room, between floors or from a hallway panel to a workstation; for those runs you need a longer length from the same C6117 family.

Questions about this item

What does the 550MHz rating actually give me on a real network?

The cable is tested to 550MHz, which is well above the 250MHz Cat6 minimum, so it reliably handles Gigabit Ethernet and can carry 10G signals over short runs like this one-foot length.

How does the RJ45 connector limit the speed I can get?

The 8P8C RJ45 plug is the standard Cat6 interface; it caps the link at the Cat6 specification of 250MHz bandwidth, supporting up to Gigabit Ethernet and 10G over very short distances.

Will the clear snagless boot fit tightly spaced ports on my switch?

Yes, the transparent snagless boot protects the locking clip without adding bulk, so it slides into dense patch panels or router ports and releases cleanly when you press the tab.
