Lumenzi EC-6-5-RD-2 Cat 6 network ethernet cable 5 ft red 2 pack 10 Gbps 550 MHz

Ready-to-install Cat 6 pair

Two five-foot red cables with snagless gold-plated RJ45 plugs arrive terminated and tested for immediate use. The round PVC jacket protects 100 % bare-copper conductors in indoor runs, outdoor trenches or direct-burial paths. Shielded construction helps reject interference across the full link.

Speed ceiling and distance trade-off

The Cat 6 rating guarantees 10 Gbps throughput up to 55 metres and 1 Gbps up to 100 metres at 550 MHz bandwidth. Beyond those lengths the standard drops to lower speeds regardless of cable quality. Shorter five-foot segments stay well inside the top-speed window for typical desk or rack connections.

Replaces Cat 5e or damaged patch cords

The jump is worthwhile when existing links bottleneck at 1 Gbps or when ageing cables suffer corrosion or broken clips. Buyers who need longer spans for 10 Gbps backbones or who require plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces should look elsewhere.
