100 ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

This 100 ft Cat6 patch cable delivers reliable 650 MHz bandwidth for 1 Gbps Ethernet connections. It supports Power over Ethernet and remains compatible with Category 5e and Category 6 applications. The black UTP design suits home offices, small businesses or any install needing a long, single-run connection.

Practical limits of the Cat6 standard

Cat6 cabling is rated for 1 Gbps speeds up to 100 metres, so this 100 ft length stays well within the distance limit. The 24 AWG conductors and 650 MHz bandwidth handle Gigabit traffic without signal loss. It will not support 10 Gbps speeds, which require Cat6a or higher categories.

Installation notes and common issues

Molded RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold contacts resist corrosion and protect the cable ends from snagging during pulls. The 100% copper construction ensures consistent conductivity compared with copper-clad alternatives. A frequent mistake is running the cable parallel to power lines, which can introduce interference despite the UTP shielding.

Questions about this item

What length should I choose for a run that must stay within Cat6 limits?

The 100 ft length keeps you well inside the 100 metre channel limit for 1 Gbps Cat6 links.

What does the 650 MHz rating mean for everyday Gigabit traffic?

It provides more than six times the 100 MHz bandwidth that 1 Gbps Ethernet actually needs, so crosstalk margin is generous.

Will the 24 AWG copper conductors and 50-micron gold contacts support PoE devices?

Yes, the solid copper cores and gold-plated contacts are rated for Power over Ethernet alongside 1 Gbps data.
