Red Cat6 patch cable for 550 MHz bandwidth

This 50 ft snagless unshielded cable carries voice, data and video up to 550 MHz. It meets Cat6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 standards and is UL verified. Bonded pairs preserve twist spacing to the connector, reducing impedance and structural return loss. The shortened body plug keeps near-end crosstalk low.

Snagless boot eases routing in tight spaces

The moulded snag-free boot prevents the latch from catching on other cables during installation and adds strain relief at the plug. Because the cable is unshielded, it stays flexible for long runs through trunking or under floors. No grounding or drain wire is required, so it fits standard RJ45 ports on switches, routers and wall plates without extra hardware.

Replaces Cat5e links limited to 100 MHz

Upgrading from older 100 MHz rated patch cords removes a bottleneck on gigabit and multi-gigabit segments. The jump is worthwhile when the link must carry sustained high-throughput traffic such as large file transfers or streaming video. Installations that already meet Cat6 performance or require shielded cabling for noisy environments will not gain from this model.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth limit appears first when the cable runs at 550 MHz for long periods?

The cable is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth-intensive applications and meets Cat6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 standards, with bonded pairs that maintain twist-spacing to reduce impedance and structural return loss under sustained use.

How much heat or noise does the 50 ft unshielded cable generate during all-day operation?

As a passive copper patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends, it produces no heat or noise of its own; thermal and acoustic output depends entirely on the connected networking equipment.

Which devices must already have RJ45 ports for this Cat6 50 ft red cable to work?

Any two devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as routers, switches, computers, IP cameras, or NAS units — can be connected directly using the male RJ45 connectors on each end.
