What This Cable Is

The C2G 27162 is a Category 6 unshielded patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors arranged in four twisted pairs and a PVC jacket. The plugs feature 50 micron gold-plated contacts and a moulded snagless boot that protects the latch during installation. It is rated to 550 MHz and meets the TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 standard.

What To Verify Before Buying

Confirm that your network equipment uses standard RJ45 ports and that a 7 ft (2.13 m) reach is sufficient for the intended run. The cable is unshielded UTP, so it is designed for typical indoor environments without high electromagnetic interference. Ensure the white colour matches your cable-management scheme and that the snagless boot clearance fits the port spacing on your switch, router or patch panel.

Behaviour Under Sustained Load

The bonded-pair construction maintains consistent twist spacing along the full length, which keeps near-end crosstalk low during continuous high-throughput traffic. By reducing impedance variation and structural return loss compared with 100 MHz rated wire, the cable supports stable Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth-intensive voice, data or video streams over extended periods without signal degradation.

Questions about this item

Does the 7 ft Cat6 cable arrive with both RJ45 connectors already fitted, or must I crimp them myself?

Both ends are factory-terminated with gold-plated RJ45 male plugs, so the cable is ready to plug in without any crimping.

Should I choose the 7 ft white Cat6 patch cable or a longer length for a typical desk-to-switch run?

At 7 ft (2.13 m) this length suits short connections such as a PC to a nearby switch or router; select a longer cable only if the devices are farther apart.

What does the 550 MHz rating mean for everyday Gigabit Ethernet use?

The 550 MHz bandwidth exceeds the 100 MHz required for Gigabit speeds, providing extra headroom for stable data, voice and video transmission.
