Cables Direct Online Cat6 50 ft Blue RJ45 Ethernet Patch Cable

Cat6 UTP Ethernet cable for 1 Gbps networks

This 50 ft Category 6 UTP patch cable uses RJ45 connectors on both ends and is rated for Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps. It suits home or office runs linking computers, routers, switches or gaming consoles. Gold-plated contacts and moulded strain relief aim to keep the link stable over time. The blue jacket helps identify the cable in a busy patch panel.

Passive cable — no thermals, noise or power draw

As a purely passive copper link the cable generates no heat, emits no noise and draws no power of its own. Signal integrity depends on the quality of the termination and the absence of sharp bends during routing. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs from catching when the cable is pulled through trunking. The unshielded construction keeps the cable light and flexible for tight bends.

Fits any RJ45 port — no extra hardware required

Both ends terminate in standard RJ45 plugs so the cable plugs directly into any Gigabit Ethernet port without adapters or tools. The 50 ft length spans typical room-to-room or desk-to-switch distances while the snagless boots free up time otherwise spent freeing stuck tabs. Unshielded twisted-pair design means no grounding lug or drain wire to manage. Buyers needing shielded runs for high-EMI environments should choose a different cable type.
