Five-Cable Pack for Wired LANs

This Cat 6 ethernet cable bundle contains five individual cords, each three feet long and black. The pack suits homes or small offices that need several short runs to PCs, printers, routers or servers. Buyers who want a single long cable or fibre links will not find what they need here.

Snagless Boots and Gold Contacts

Each RJ45 plug carries gold-plated contacts and a snagless strain-relief boot that protects the latch during repeated insertion. The 24 AWG bare copper conductors meet the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard and support PoE++ power delivery. No additional software, drivers or configuration tools are included in the package.

550 MHz Bandwidth and 10 Gbps Ceiling

The cables are rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps throughput over the short three-foot length. Category 6 specifications limit 10 Gbps operation to shorter distances; longer runs drop to 1 Gbps. The cords remain backwards compatible with existing Cat 5e and Cat 5 networks.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated RJ45 contacts need cleaning or replacement after repeated insertions?

The gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion and the snagless strain-relief boots protect the latch, so the connectors stay reliable without routine maintenance.

What bandwidth ceiling limits sustained 10 Gbps throughput on this 3 ft Cat 6 cable?

The cable is rated at 550 MHz bandwidth, which supports 10 Gbps Ethernet over the full 3 ft length.

Does the 24 AWG bare-copper construction run warm or draw extra power when carrying PoE++ all day?

Bare copper conductors meet communication-cable specifications and handle PoE++ efficiently without noticeable heat rise during continuous operation.
