Cable Matters Cat 6 Snagless Ethernet Cable 5ft 5-Color Combo 10Gbps 550MHz

Five-colour Cat 6 patch set

This 5 ft Cat 6 Ethernet cable bundle includes black, blue, green, red and white cords for easy colour-coded network management. Each cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts to connect PCs, servers, printers, routers, switches, NAS devices, VoIP phones and PoE equipment. The snagless strain-relief boots protect the locking tab during frequent reconnects. Condition is new.

550 MHz bandwidth rating

The single specification that determines suitability is the 550 MHz frequency rating, which meets the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 standard. This bandwidth ceiling governs the maximum signalling rate the cable can carry without excessive crosstalk or attenuation. If your infrastructure requires higher frequency headroom, this product will not satisfy that requirement.

10 Gbps up to 550 MHz

The cables support 10 Gbps Ethernet speeds within the 550 MHz bandwidth limit, making them suitable for server links, cloud workloads, video surveillance feeds and high-definition streaming. Performance drops off beyond the rated frequency, so runs that demand 2000 MHz or 40 Gbps capacity need a different cable class. Backwards compatibility covers existing Cat 5 networks.
