CableMAX 8ft Red Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable

This CableMAX patch cable is an eight-foot Cat6 UTP lead with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses 24AWG stranded conductors rated at 550 MHz and meets or exceeds Category 6 EIA/TIA specifications. The red jacket provides easy colour coding in a rack or at a desk. It is built for gigabit Ethernet and 10/100 Base-T networks.

Suited for gigabit links and 10/100 Base-T runs

The cable suits installers who need a short, flexible Cat6 link with snagless boots and gold-plated staggered pins to reduce cross-talk. It is not for runs that require shielded construction, plenum-rated jackets, or lengths beyond eight feet. Buyers needing 10-gigabit performance over copper should look at higher-category cabling.

Check port spacing and jack orientation before

Verify that the RJ45 ports on your switch, router, or panel accept standard boot dimensions and staggered-pin connectors. Confirm the eight-foot length reaches between your devices without tension. Ensure your existing cabling plant is Category 5e or better to maintain the rated performance.

Questions about this item

What network ports must my devices have to use the RJ45 male-to-male connectors?

Each device needs an RJ45 Ethernet port; the cable connects two such ports directly.

Will the 550 MHz Cat6 cable work with my existing Cat5e patch panel and 100 Base-T switch?

Yes, the Cat6 cable is backwards compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 equipment.

How can I confirm the link is running at Gigabit Ethernet after I plug in the 24AWG stranded UTP cable?

Verify the port LEDs show a Gigabit connection and run a speed test between the two devices.
