CableMAX 8ft Cat6 Patch Cable

This eight-foot Category 6 patch cable connects two RJ45 ports for wired networking. It uses stranded 24AWG UTP construction with four twisted pairs and is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth. Gold-plated staggered pins on each connector reduce cross-talk and maintain signal integrity. The cable suits home, office or rack installations that require reliable Gigabit Ethernet links.

Snagless boot design for dense patching

Molded bubble boots cover the RJ45 latches so cables release cleanly from crowded switches or wall plates. The flexible boot protects the tab during repeated insertion and removal cycles. Male-to-male connectors plug directly into routers, switches, patch panels or network interfaces without adapters. Grey jacket colour helps identify cable runs in structured cabling layouts.

CM fire rating and backwards compatibility

The cable carries a CM fire rating and meets TIA 568B wiring standards with ETL verification. It supports 10 and 100 Base-T as well as Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full length. Backwards compatibility allows use with existing Category 5e and Category 5 infrastructure. Stranded conductors keep the cable pliable for routing through tight pathways.

Questions about this item

How far can this Cat6 cable run at Gigabit speeds before signal loss becomes the limiting factor?

The 8 ft length is well within the 100 m Cat6 channel limit, so sustained Gigabit Ethernet traffic will not hit a distance bottleneck on this patch cord.

Does the stranded 24 AWG construction or the 550 MHz rating cause noticeable heat or power draw when the link runs continuously?

Passive copper patch cables draw no power and generate no measurable heat, regardless of gauge or bandwidth rating, so all‑day operation stays cool and silent.

What port type must my switch or NIC already have to plug this cable in directly?

Both ends use standard RJ45 male connectors, so the device on each side needs a regular RJ45 Ethernet jack — no adapter or special interface required.
