Category 6 cable for Gigabit links

This seven-foot Category 6 patch cable carries 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps Ethernet over unshielded twisted pairs. It is built for desktop, laptop or network-switch connections that require a short, reliable run. The gray PVC jacket protects the conductors in typical indoor environments. Buyers needing longer reach or outdoor-rated jackets should consider other options.

TIA/EIA 568B.2 limit and 550 MHz bandwidth

The cable meets the TIA/EIA 568B.2 standard and is rated to 550 MHz, which defines the practical ceiling for its supported Gigabit speeds. Shielding is not present, so electromagnetic interference in dense wiring closets may reduce usable distance. Installers must keep bends gentle and avoid running the cable parallel to power lines. Those requiring certified performance beyond 1000 Mbps need a higher-category solution.

24 AWG conductor gauge

The 24 AWG copper conductors determine the cable’s insertion loss and maximum reliable length at Gigabit rates. Thinner wire would increase attenuation, while thicker wire would reduce flexibility for tight routing. This gauge balances signal integrity with easy handling behind desks or in patch panels. If your installation demands lower loss over longer runs, a larger-gauge cable is required.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 7 ft length or a different one?

Choose the 7 ft length when the run between your router and device is roughly that distance; the cable is a fixed 7 ft and cannot be shortened or extended without connectors.

What does the 550 MHz rating deliver in my network?

The 550 MHz bandwidth supports Cat 6 performance up to 1 Gbps over the full 7 ft, handling 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps links without bottleneck.

How does the TIA/EIA 568B.2 wiring affect compatibility?

The 568B.2 pinout is the standard for most patch panels and wall plates, so this cable plugs straight into existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 infrastructure.
