Five-pack Cat 6 LAN cables

This pack contains five black Cat 6 ethernet cables, each three feet long. They use 24 AWG bare copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 contacts and strain-relief boots. The cables are rated for 10 Gbps data transfer and 550 MHz frequency, meeting the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard.

Home and office wired networking

These cables suit anyone connecting PCs, servers, printers, routers or switches where a stable wired link is preferred over Wi-Fi. They are not for installers who need shielded cabling, outdoor-rated jackets or longer runs than three feet.

10 Gbps at 550 MHz over Cat 6

The decisive specification is the 10 Gbps throughput at 550 MHz over unshielded Cat 6 construction. If your switch ports or network interface cards cannot negotiate 10-Gigabit Ethernet, the extra headroom will not be used.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat 6 cable actually reach at 550 MHz?

The cable is rated for 10 Gbps at 550 MHz, meeting the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 standard for short runs up to 3 ft.

How much space do the snagless boots add beyond the RJ45 body?

The strain-relief boots extend a few millimetres past the connector, so allow extra depth when plugging into recessed ports or tight patch panels.

Which way do the gold-plated contacts face when inserting the RJ45 plug?

Hold the clip down and the gold contacts facing up; push until the clip clicks, avoiding the common mistake of forcing it upside down.
