25-Foot Cat6 Patch Cable

This 25-foot Cat6 Ethernet patch cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It is built for home and office networks that need a reliable wired link up to 550 MHz bandwidth. The snagless strain-relief boots protect the connector tabs during routine moves and reconnections.

UTP Limits and Fire Compliance

Unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable flexible but offers no protection against strong electromagnetic interference near heavy electrical equipment. The pure bare copper design meets UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C fire and safety standards, so it is approved for in-wall and plenum-adjacent runs where copper-clad aluminum would not comply.

Check Port Speed and Run Length

Verify that your router, switch and network adapters support gigabit or faster speeds to use the 550 MHz rating. Ensure the 7.62-metre length reaches between devices without tension or sharp bends. Confirm the RJ45 jack spacing on your patch panel or wall plate accepts the snagless boot profile before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 25-foot length or a shorter run for my desk-to-router connection?

The 25-foot cable covers 7.62 metres; choose a shorter length only if the path between devices is significantly less to avoid excess slack.

What does the 550 MHz rating actually deliver when the cable is plugged into a gigabit switch?

The 550 MHz bandwidth supports full Cat6 performance, allowing 1 Gbps speeds up to 100 metres and 10 Gbps up to 55 metres under TIA-568-C limits.

How do the RJ45 connectors and UTP construction affect the maximum reliable distance?

Gold-plated 50-micron contacts on unshielded twisted-pair 24 AWG pure copper keep signal loss low, so the cable meets the 100-metre channel limit for gigabit Ethernet.
