75ft Cat 6 Ethernet Cable

This Cat 6 Ethernet cable provides a 75-foot wired link for LAN components such as PCs, servers, printers and routers. It uses a 24 AWG bare copper core with gold-plated RJ45 connectors and strain-relief boots. The cable is rated for 10 Gbps data transfer at 550 MHz and meets the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard. It is backward compatible with existing Cat 5 networks.

Suits fixed runs needing 75ft reach

The 75-foot length fits installations where devices are far from the switch or router and a single cable must span the distance. Builders who need a shorter patch cord for a desk or rack should choose a different length. Installations requiring shielded S/FTP or Cat 6A and Cat 8 performance for higher frequencies should select a different cable type.

Unshielded 550 MHz bandwidth

This cable operates at 550 MHz using unshielded twisted-pair construction. That frequency rating determines the headroom for 10-Gigabit Ethernet over the full 75-foot run. If the installation demands the 2000 MHz bandwidth of shielded Cat 8 or the alien-crosstalk protection of S/FTP shielding, this part will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 75ft black Cat 6 cable or a different length for my home network?

The 75ft length suits most home runs between a router and a desktop or switch. Pick a shorter cable if devices are closer; a longer one only if the path demands it.

What does the 10Gbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my PC and router?

The cable is built to 550MHz bandwidth and meets the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 standard, so it can carry 10Gbps Ethernet up to the distance limits of that standard.

The connectors are RJ45 — does that limit the speed to 1Gbps in practice?

No. The RJ45 plugs use gold-plated contacts and 24AWG bare copper conductors, supporting the full 10Gbps Cat 6 capability when paired with 10Gbps ports.
