Short Purple Cat6 Patch Cable

This 2ft purple Cat6 patch cable is built for short runs between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, laptop or console. The stranded 24AWG pure bare copper conductors keep the link flexible for tight desk routing. It targets anyone who needs a tidy, colour-coded connection without excess slack.

Stranded Copper with Snagless Boots

Each of the four unshielded twisted pairs uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper rather than copper-clad aluminium, meeting UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C requirements. The 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion, while colour-matched snagless strain-relief boots protect the latch during frequent insertion and removal.

550MHz Bandwidth Limit

The cable is rated to 550MHz, supporting gigabit Ethernet and the headroom Cat6 provides over Cat5e. It does not carry the shielding or higher frequency rating required for certified 10GBASE-T runs beyond short distances, so installers planning multi-gigabit links over longer channels should verify category compliance separately.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the Cat6 550MHz rating actually support?

The 550MHz bandwidth supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to the cable's 2ft length.

What physical clearance do the snagless boots and RJ45 plugs need?

The snagless strain relief boots add minimal bulk; allow a few millimetres behind the RJ45 for the boot to flex without pressure.

How do I seat the gold-plated contacts correctly on the first try?

Push the RJ45 straight in until the tab clicks; the 50 micron gold contacts need full insertion, not a partial seat.
