Compact six-inch Cat6 patch cable

The Cable Leader six-inch Cat6 Ethernet cable provides a short, tidy Gigabit link between nearby network ports. It uses 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with a PE divider. Gold-plated 50-micron RJ45 contacts resist corrosion and ensure reliable signal integrity at 550 MHz.

Ideal for tight rack or desk runs.

This length suits patch panels, switch-to-switch links or console-to-router connections where excess slack creates clutter. Builders needing runs beyond a few metres or shielded cable for noisy environments should choose a different product.

Fits any RJ45 port and frees cable management space

The snagless boot protects the locking tab and reduces tangling during installation. White jackets simplify color-coded port labeling across the C6101 family. Backward compatible with Cat5e, it drops into existing Gigabit infrastructure without reconfiguration.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ45 ports to use this 6-inch Cat6 cable?

Any router, switch, modem, PC, console, NAS or smart TV with a standard RJ45 jack can connect with this 6-inch Cat6 patch cable.

Will this 550 MHz tested Cat6 cable work with my existing Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e equipment, so it drops into a Cat5e patch panel and runs at Cat5e speeds.

How can I verify the link is running at Gigabit speed after I plug in this 24 AWG cable?

Check the port LEDs on your switch or router — a steady or blinking amber/green Gigabit indicator confirms the 1 Gbps connection is active.
