What this cable is and who it fits

This Cat6 patch cable is one foot long with yellow jacket and RJ45 connectors. It uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts. The UTP construction meets 550MHz bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet runs. It suits home offices, patch panels or short rack links where a compact, colour-coded lead is needed.

Practical limits of the Cat6 interface

Cat6 UTP supports up to 550MHz and 1Gbps over 100 metres, but this cable is only 0.3048 metres long. The short length keeps insertion loss minimal, yet the stranded conductors make it less suited for permanent in-wall runs compared with solid-core cable. Unshielded design offers no protection against strong EMI sources such as fluorescent ballasts or motor drives.

Check before ordering

Verify that your switch, router or NIC ports accept standard RJ45 plugs with snagless boots. Ensure the yellow colour matches your cable-management scheme. Confirm the 1-foot reach spans the distance between devices without tension. No tooling or special drivers are required for installation.

Questions about this item

How do I choose the right length and colour for my setup?

This item is a 1-foot yellow Cat6 patch cable; select the length and colour that match the distance between your devices and your cable-management scheme.

What does the 550 MHz bandwidth deliver in everyday use?

The 550 MHz rating supports full Cat6 performance up to 1 Gbps over the 1-foot run, keeping latency low for gaming, streaming or office traffic.

Which connector standard does the RJ45 plug follow and what does it limit?

The gold-plated RJ45 plugs meet the TIA-568-C wiring standard, capping the link at Cat6 speeds and distances.
