50ft Cat6 non-booted patch cable

This 50ft Cat6 non-booted Ethernet cable provides a reliable Gigabit wired link for data centres, server rooms and structured cabling installs. The slim plug seats cleanly in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks where booted connectors would crowd adjacent ports. Yellow jacketing aids quick visual identification in multi-cable runs. It is built for installers who need a drop-in Cat5e upgrade without rearranging existing hardware.

550MHz tested headroom and 24AWG copper

The cable is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 baseline, giving comfortable margin for Gigabit Ethernet and 10G over short runs. Four twisted pairs of 24AWG bare copper conductors maintain signal integrity across the full 50ft length. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts resist corrosion for long-term reliability. Runs that exceed the Cat6 10G distance limit will fall back to Gigabit speeds.

RJ45 Cat6 interface limits

The RJ45 8P8C connectors are backward compatible with Cat5e ports, so the cable works with existing switches, routers, patch panels, PCs and PoE devices. Cat6 shielding is not present, so environments with heavy EMI may require a screened alternative. The non-booted design trades latch protection for density; installers who need strain-relief boots should choose a booted variant. Maximum channel length follows the 100m TIA/EIA limit for the installed category.

Questions about this item

Will the 550MHz Cat6 cable work with my existing Cat5e patch panel and keystone jacks?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade and fits standard RJ45 patch panels and keystone jacks.

How can I verify the cable is delivering the tested 550MHz performance after installation?

Use a cable certifier or qualified network tester that measures frequency response up to 550MHz to confirm the link meets Cat6 specifications.

Does the 50ft yellow cable include any boots, ties or mounting hardware, or just the bare cable?

The cable has a non-booted plug design with no molded boots; cable ties and mounting hardware are not included and must be purchased separately.
