7-Foot Cat6 Patch Cable

This 2.1336-metre Cat6 Ethernet cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It is rated for 550MHz bandwidth and built to UL 444 and TIA-568-C specifications. The red jacket and snagless strain-relief boots make it easy to identify and route in a busy rack or home office.

Easy Plug-and-Play Installation

The RJ45 connectors click into any standard Gigabit port without tools, and the short-body plug fits tight switch ports without blocking adjacent jacks. Stranded conductors stay flexible through tight bends, but the snagless boots can catch on cable trays if pulled at sharp angles — route with gentle curves to avoid latch damage.

Verify Port Speed and Cable Run

Confirm that your router, switch or NIC supports Gigabit or faster speeds to use the 550MHz rating. The fixed 7-foot length suits desk-to-wall or patch-panel runs; measure the exact path before ordering so slack does not become a trip hazard or airflow blockage.
