Wired Gigabit Link for Home and Office

This Cable Leader Cat6 patch cable provides a reliable wired connection for routers, switches, gaming consoles and desktop PCs. It uses 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with a PE divider for signal integrity. The 6ft blue jacket allows easy color-coding in network racks or home runs. It is RoHS compliant and UL & ETL Verified.

Drop-in Upgrade from Cat5e

The cable is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 minimum, and supports Gigabit Ethernet with 10G capability over short runs. It replaces older Cat5e links without configuration changes, delivering lower latency for streaming and online gaming. Buyers who need longer permanent installation runs or shielded cable for noisy environments should look elsewhere.

Snagless Design for Dense Patching

Molded PVC boots match the blue jacket and protect the 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 locking clips during frequent reconnects. The snagless profile eases routing through crowded panels and cable managers. It fits standard 8P8C ports on routers, modems, switches, NAS units and smart TVs. Installers needing plenum-rated jacket or outdoor burial rating cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 6 ft length and 24 AWG stranded conductors reach my router without strain?

The cable is 6 ft long with flexible 24 AWG stranded bare copper, so it easily spans typical desk-to-router distances and bends around corners without kinking.

Do I need a tool to seat the RJ45 plugs, or do they just push in?

The 8P8C RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts insert by hand until the locking tab clicks; the snagless boot protects the clip during repeated connects.

How often should I replace the cable if the boot cracks or the clip snaps?

The molded PVC snagless boot is color-matched and designed to protect the locking clip; replace the cable only if the boot splits or the clip breaks and no longer latches.
