Cat6 patch cable for short runs

This three-foot Cat6 patch cable carries voice, data and video signals at frequencies up to 550 MHz and meets TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 requirements. Snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends protect the retaining clips during insertion and removal. The purple jacket provides quick visual identification in dense patch panels. It is built for indoor copper networks where a short, flexible link is required.

Suits installers who need colour-coded Cat6 jumpers

Technicians running short connections between a switch, router or wall outlet and a desktop device will find the 0.91 m length convenient. The unshielded construction keeps the cable thin and easy to route through tight cable management trays. Builders who require shielded cabling for high-EMI environments or runs longer than the supplied length should select a different cable type.

The 550 MHz bandwidth rating determines suitability

Cat6 cables rated at 550 MHz support Gigabit Ethernet and higher-speed copper standards over short distances. If the network design calls for a higher frequency class or a shielded solution, this cable will not meet that specification. Match the bandwidth and shielding to the project requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the snagless RJ45 connectors on this 3 ft Cat6 cable without damaging the tabs?

Press each RJ45 male plug straight into the port until the snagless tab clicks; the angled boot protects the latch so it will not catch on adjacent cables during removal.

What maintenance or replacement will this unshielded Cat6 patch cable need over time?

Inspect the purple jacket and snagless boots periodically; replace the cable if the conductors develop kinks, the latch tabs break, or the ends show corrosion from repeated mating cycles.

At what point does the 550 MHz bandwidth limit appear during sustained high-throughput use?

The cable is rated to 550 MHz per Cat6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9; sustained loads beyond that frequency will encounter the first performance ceiling.
