Cable Leader Cat6 Non-Booted Ethernet Cable 3ft Orange 24AWG 550MHz

3ft Cat6 patch cable for dense installs

This three-foot Cat6 patch cable uses non-booted RJ45 plugs that seat cleanly in crowded patch panels and keystone jacks. The slim profile improves airflow and keeps high-density cable runs tidy. It is built with 24AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts for reliable signal integrity. The orange jacket aids quick visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Tested to 550MHz with Gigabit and short-run 10G

The cable meets the Cat6 standard and is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz minimum. It comfortably handles Gigabit Ethernet and supports 10G over short distances. Backward compatibility with Cat5e makes it a drop-in upgrade for existing runs. It is not suited for buyers who need shielded cable for noisy industrial environments or longer 10G distances beyond the Cat6 limit.

Passive copper construction runs cool and silent

With no active components the cable generates no heat and produces zero noise in normal use. Power draw is limited to the negligible loss of the copper conductors, so it adds no meaningful load to PoE circuits. The bare copper twisted pairs and gold-plated contacts maintain low resistance over the three-foot length. It does not meet the needs of installers who require plenum-rated jacket material for air-handling spaces.
