What this cable is and who needs it

The Cables To Go 04171 is a 3 ft Cat6 unshielded patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It meets Cat6 TIA/EIA standards for voice, data and video distribution and reduces impedance and structural return loss compared to lower categories. The yellow jacket helps identify the run in a busy rack or desk.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This length works for short runs between a wall jack, switch or router and a desktop, laptop or network appliance where a non-booted connector fits. Buyers who need longer reach, shielded construction for noisy environments, boot-protected tabs for frequent reconnects or pre-made crossover wiring should choose a different cable.

What to check before ordering

Verify that the 3 ft length reaches between your two RJ45 ports without tension. Confirm both devices use standard RJ45 jacks and that an unshielded, non-booted plug clears any adjacent ports or cable-management clips. Ensure Cat6 performance matches the speed tier of your network equipment.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 ports do I need on my router and PC for this 3 ft Cat6 cable?

Both ends use standard RJ45 male connectors, so any Gigabit Ethernet port on a router, switch or computer will accept the plug directly.

Will this 0.91 m patch cord slow down a Cat5e switch I already own?

The cable is backward compatible; it will run at the highest speed the Cat5e switch supports without degrading that link.

How can I verify the 04171 cable is passing data at Cat6 rates after I plug it in?

Check the link lights on both ports — they should show a 1 Gbps or higher connection — then run a local file transfer or speed test to confirm throughput.
