Cat 6 10-pack for wired LANs

This Cat 6 ethernet cable 10-pack supplies ten 10-foot black cables for wiring PCs, servers, printers, routers and other LAN components. Each cable uses a 24 AWG bare-copper core with gold-plated RJ45 contacts and strain-relief boots. The bundle suits homes, offices or data centres that need multiple reliable wired links at once.

Snagless boots and gold contacts

Snagless boots protect the locking tab during frequent patching, while gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for long-term signal integrity. Bare copper conductors meet communication-cable specifications and avoid the higher resistance of copper-clad aluminium. The 10-foot length reaches typical desk-to-switch or patch-panel runs without excess slack.

10 Gbps up to 550 MHz bandwidth

Cat 6 rating delivers up to 10 Gbps data transfer at frequencies up to 550 MHz, compliant with the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard. The cables are backwards compatible with existing Cat 5 networks but lack shielding, so they are not suited for high-EMI environments or runs that require Cat 6A or Cat 8 performance.

Questions about this item

What practical speed does the Cat 6 550 MHz rating cap at?

The Cat 6 cable is rated for 10 Gbps data transfer at up to 550 MHz bandwidth.

What physical clearance do the snagless boots and RJ45 connectors need?

Gold-plated RJ45 plugs with strain-relief boots require standard port depth; the snagless design protects the latch during insertion and removal.

How are the 24 AWG bare copper conductors terminated, and what wiring scheme is used?

Each cable uses TIA/EIA 568-C.2 pinout with gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 ends for compliant gigabit and 10-gigabit links.
