Logico P6EU07YL-05 Cat 6 UTP Ethernet Cable 7 ft Yellow 5 Pack

Five-pack Cat 6 UTP patch cables

This pack contains five yellow unshielded twisted-pair cables, each seven feet long, terminated with RJ45 plugs wired to the T-568B standard. They are built with 24 AWG stranded conductors and gold-plated contacts for reliable Ethernet links in home or office networks. The snag-free boots and moulded strain relief protect the connectors during repeated insertion and routing.

Practical limits of Cat 6 UTP

Unshielded Cat 6 cable supports gigabit Ethernet up to one hundred metres, but alien crosstalk can reduce the guaranteed bandwidth for ten-gigabit Ethernet to fifty-five metres. The 550 MHz rating provides headroom for 1 Gbit/s traffic, yet the lack of shielding makes the cables more susceptible to external electromagnetic interference in dense cable bundles. Installers should keep runs away from power cables and fluorescent ballasts.

Gold-plated contact specification

The fifty-micron gold plating on the contact pins resists oxidation and maintains low contact resistance over many mating cycles. This thickness is the single specification that determines long-term signal integrity in patch-panel and wall-plate environments where cables are frequently moved. Buyers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or longer ten-gigabit runs should choose a different product.
