Ready for Gigabit networks

This Cat6 patch cable is rated at 550 MHz and supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps. It connects PCs, modems, routers, consoles and other RJ45 devices in home or office networks. The 5 ft length suits short runs between adjacent equipment.

Suits standard desktop and console links

Buyers who need longer runs, in-wall installation or outdoor-rated jackets should look at other cable types. The snagless boots protect the latch during frequent changes but add bulk in very tight patch panels.

Fits straight into any RJ45 port

Gold-plated contacts maintain low-resistance connections without extra adapters. The flexible, tangle-resistant jacket eases routing around corners and through cable-management channels. Backward compatibility with Cat5 infrastructure means it drops into existing wiring without reconfiguration.
