100 ft Cat6 UTP Cable

This 100 ft Category 6 UTP patch cable uses RJ45 connectors with 50 micron gold plating, snagless boots and moulded strain relief. It is built for wired networking between PCs, consoles, modems and routers where a single long run is required. The blue jacket helps identify the link in crowded racks or along skirting boards.

Practical Limits of Cat6 UTP

Unshielded Cat6 is rated to 550 MHz and supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 m, but the 100 ft length here leaves no margin for extra patch cords in a certified channel. Alien crosstalk can rise in dense bundles, so keep the cable away from power leads and avoid tight bends. For 10 GBASE-T the standard limits UTP to 55 m, so this run will not guarantee 10 Gb/s.

Check Before Ordering

Verify that both endpoints have standard RJ45 ports and that the 100 ft route can be run without exceeding the minimum bend radius. Confirm you do not need shielded cable for a high-EMI environment or a plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces. Buyers who need longer certified channels or 10 Gb/s over 100 m should look at higher-grade solutions.

Questions about this item

Is the 100 ft length or the 200 ft version better for my space?

The product is 100 ft long; the 200 ft figure appears only in the manufacturer highlights. Choose the 100 ft cable if your runs are under that distance, otherwise source a longer run separately.

What does the 550 MHz rating deliver in everyday use?

The 550 MHz bandwidth supports Cat6 performance up to 1 Gbps at 100 m, so gigabit Ethernet, streaming and gaming traffic run at full speed over the 100 ft link.

Will the unshielded RJ45 connectors limit my network speed?

No — the unshielded UTP design with gold-plated RJ45 plugs meets Cat6 specifications, so it carries gigabit traffic the full 100 ft without a speed penalty.
