Five Cat 6 cables for short runs

This pack contains five black Cat 6 patch cables, each 2 ft long with RJ45 connectors. They use 24 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated contacts under snagless strain-relief boots. The cables are rated for 10 Gbps data transfer at 550 MHz and meet the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard.

Suited for dense patch panels and desk tidy-ups

The short length keeps cable management clean inside racks, between a switch and a server, or on a crowded desk. Builders who need longer runs to distant rooms, outdoor burial grade jacket, or shielded S/FTP construction for noisy electrical environments should look elsewhere.

2 ft length decides the use case

At 2 ft the cables only reach devices that sit side by side or inside the same enclosure. If the distance between your router and computer exceeds that, this pack will not span the gap.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 2 ft 5-pack or a longer single cable for my desk setup?

Pick the 2 ft 5-pack when you need several short runs — patch panels, switch-to-server links, or tidy desktop connections — and want colour-matched black cables with gold-plated RJ45 contacts.

What does the 10 Gbps rating actually deliver on my gigabit switch?

The cable is rated for 10 Gbps at 550 MHz, so on a 1 Gbps switch it runs at the switch's full line rate with headroom for future 10 Gbps upgrades.

How does the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Cat 6 standard limit the cable in practice?

The standard certifies 10 Gbps up to 55 metres; at 2 ft you are well within that distance, so the cable will pass the full 10 Gbps bandwidth without signal degradation.
