12-pack Cat6 patch cables

This pack contains twelve 5-foot Cat6 Ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors. They are built for connecting network devices to patch panels, switches or routers in home or office installations. Each cable uses unshielded twisted-pair construction with pure bare copper conductors. The black jacket provides a uniform appearance across multiple runs.

Installers needing many short runs

The 12-pack suits technicians wiring 12, 24, 48 or 96-port panels where consistent 5-foot lengths simplify cable management. The thin FLEXboot design eases insertion and removal in dense port arrays. Buyers who need longer individual cables, shielded construction or different colours should look at other options.

550 MHz bandwidth rating

These cables are tested to a 550 MHz bandwidth, supporting gigabit transmission over the 5-foot length. The 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 requirements. Gold-plated contacts rated at 50 µm resist corrosion for reliable long-term connectivity.

Questions about this item

Is the 12-pack the right choice for a 48-port patch panel?

Yes, four 12-packs provide exactly 48 cables for a 48-port panel, and the 5 ft length suits typical rack-to-rack runs.

What does the 550 MHz bandwidth rating mean for actual throughput?

The cable is tested to 550 MHz, giving headroom above the Cat6 standard so 1 Gbps links run with lower crosstalk and fewer retransmissions.

How does the UTP construction and RJ45 interface limit speed and distance?

Unshielded twisted pair with 8P8C plugs supports 1 Gbps up to 100 metres; the 5 ft length is well within that limit for rack or desk connections.
