Cat6 cable for short patch runs

This 1 ft Cat6 patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a 550 MHz bandwidth rating. The unshielded twisted-pair construction meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications wiring. A snagless strain-relief boot protects the latch during repeated connections. Gray jacket color matches common rack and desk aesthetics.

Check port spacing and length requirement

Verify that a 0.3048 m cable reaches between your switch, router or wall jack and the device without tension. Ensure both ends use standard RJ45 sockets; the short body connector fits dense patch panels but may not clear oversized boots on adjacent cables. Confirm your installation does not require plenum or shielded cable types, as this model is UTP only.

Suits desktop and rack patching

Ideal for technicians and home users linking a computer, NAS, printer or access point to a nearby switch or wall outlet. The stranded conductors tolerate frequent re-routing better than solid-core cable. Not intended for long horizontal runs exceeding the 100 m channel limit, for in-wall riser or plenum spaces, or for environments that demand foil or braid shielding against EMI. Buyers needing longer reach, shielded construction or different fire ratings should select a cable specified for those purposes.
