50 ft Cat 6 cable for 10 Gbps LAN

This 50-foot Category 6 patch cable uses 28 AWG conductors to deliver 10 Gbps data rates at 550 MHz bandwidth. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and strain-relief boots provide a secure, durable connection for wired networking. The slim, flexible jacket simplifies routing around corners and through tight cable-management channels. It is backwards compatible with existing Cat 5e infrastructure.

Suits gigabit and 10-gigabit wired links

Ideal for connecting PCs, servers, printers, routers, switches, NAS units, VoIP phones and PoE devices where a reliable low-latency link is required. The thin profile helps in dense racks or crowded desk runs. Buyers who need shielded construction for noisy electrical environments should consider a different cable type. Installers requiring plenum-rated or outdoor-rated jackets must look elsewhere.

550 MHz bandwidth enables 10 Gbps

The cable is tested to 550 MHz, meeting the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 specification that supports 10-gigabit Ethernet over the full 50-foot length. This frequency rating is the single figure that determines whether the link will operate at the advertised speed.

Questions about this item

Is the 50 ft length the only option for this 28 AWG Cat 6 cable?

This listing is for the 50 ft version. Other lengths may exist under different model numbers such as 160033 or 160032, but only the 50 ft specification is confirmed here.

Will the 10 Gbps rating work at full speed over the full 50 ft run?

Cat 6 is rated for 10 Gbps up to 55 metres, so the 50 ft length stays within that limit. The 550 MHz bandwidth supports the required signal quality for the full run.

Does the RJ45 connector follow the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 wiring standard?

Yes. The cable meets or exceeds Category 6 performance in compliance with the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard, ensuring correct pinout and signal integrity for 10 Gbps Ethernet.
