Cat 6 50 ft patch cable

This 50-foot Category 6 cable carries a 550 MHz bandwidth rating and uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors. The PVC jacket meets the TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 standard and weighs 1.36 lbs. It is supplied in a purple finish for easy identification.

Crossover wiring for direct device links

The cable is wired as a crossover patch lead, so it connects two similar network ports directly without a switch or router. Builders who need a straight-through cable for uplinks to a hub, switch or wall plate should choose a different wiring scheme.

550 MHz bandwidth rating

The 550 MHz specification determines the maximum signal frequency the cable can support, which governs the data-rate ceiling for the link. If the installation requires a higher or lower certified bandwidth, this cable will not match that requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 50 ft Cat 6 cable and what step is often missed?

Push each RJ45 plug until it clicks into the port; the step people miss is verifying the latch engages on both ends so the 50 micron gold-plated contacts stay seated.

What maintenance or replacement will the 24 AWG stranded copper cable need later?

Inspect the PVC jacket and snagless boots periodically; replace the cable if the jacket cracks, the boots tear or the gold-plated pins show corrosion.

What limit appears first on the 550 MHz Cat 6 link under sustained use?

The 50 ft length and unshielded UTP construction mean alien crosstalk and insertion loss become the limiting factors before the 550 MHz rating is reached.
