Ideal for wired Gigabit links

This 4 ft Cat6 patch cable provides a reliable wired Gigabit Ethernet connection for home offices, gaming consoles and smart TVs. The yellow jacket makes it easy to colour-code ports on a router or switch. It is backward compatible with Cat5e equipment for a simple drop-in upgrade. The stranded bare copper conductors suit everyday desktop and patch-panel use.

Check port spacing and run length

Verify that your router, switch or device has a standard RJ45 jack with enough clearance for the moulded snagless boot. The 4 ft length works best for short runs between adjacent equipment; longer distances will need a different cable. Ensure the connected hardware supports Gigabit speeds to benefit from the Cat6 rating. No shielding is present, so avoid routing alongside high-voltage power cables.

Snagless boot and gold-plated contacts

A PVC moulded snagless boot protects the locking clip from damage during frequent connects and disconnects. The boot is colour-matched to the yellow jacket for a tidy appearance. Each RJ45 plug uses 50-micron gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance. The 24 AWG stranded conductors with a PE divider maintain signal integrity up to the tested 550 MHz bandwidth.

Questions about this item

Does the cable ship with any connectors or tools, or must I buy them separately?

The 4 ft Cat6 patch cable arrives with RJ45 plugs already crimped on both ends, so no extra connectors, crimpers or keystones are needed — just plug it into your router, switch, console or PC.

The listing mentions the C6101 family with multiple lengths and ten colors — how do I decide which length or color to choose?

Pick a length that reaches between your devices with a little slack — 4 ft is ideal for desk-side or rack-to-panel runs — and use the yellow jacket (or any of the other nine colors) to match your port-labeling scheme for quick visual tracing.

The headline says 550 MHz tested — what does that actually deliver once the cable is in my network?

550 MHz exceeds the Cat6 minimum of 250 MHz, giving you full Gigabit Ethernet headroom and the ability to run 10 Gbps over short distances with the 24 AWG stranded bare copper and gold-plated contacts ensuring low loss and reliable throughput.
