Ready-to-use Cat6 patch cable

This eight-foot orange cable arrives terminated with RJ45 plugs on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded UTP construction rated at 550 MHz. Snagless bubble boots protect the connectors during repeated insertions. The cable is ETL verified and carries a CM fire rating.

Suitable for standard Gigabit runs

Home and office users who need a reliable drop between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, printer or access point will find the length and performance adequate. Builders who require shielded cable for noisy environments or plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces should look at a different product.

550 MHz bandwidth rating

The 550 MHz specification confirms the cable exceeds the base Category 6 requirement and supports Gigabit Ethernet throughput. This single figure determines whether the link will handle your intended speed without errors.

Questions about this item

What does the 550 MHz Cat6 rating mean for real-world speeds?

The cable is rated at 550 MHz and supports 10/100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet, so it handles up to 1 Gbps in practice.

Will the 8 ft length and bubble boots fit my patch panel or wall plate?

At 8 ft with snagless bubble boots, it reaches typical rack or desk runs and the boots protect the latch in tight panels.

How do I plug in the staggered-pin RJ45 connectors without damaging the 50 micron gold contacts?

Align the connector, press straight in until the latch clicks; the staggered pins and gold plating are designed for repeated mating without special tools.
