Ortronics Cat.6 Patch Cable 5 ft Blue

This Ortronics Cat.6 patch cable provides a five-foot Ethernet link for home and office networks. It terminates in RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and is supplied as a single blue cable. The snagless design helps protect the connector tabs during installation and removal. It suits anyone needing a short, ready-to-use Category 6 connection.

Category 6 performance rating

The cable is rated to the Category 6 standard, which supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher data rates over short runs. This specification is the primary factor in deciding whether the cable meets the bandwidth needs of a given network segment. Buyers who require Category 6a or higher performance should select a different cable class.

Passive copper construction

As a passive copper patch cable it draws no power and produces no noise or heat during normal operation. Thermal output is negligible and no active cooling is required. The snagless boots add mechanical protection without affecting electrical performance. Installers should observe the recommended bend radius for Category 6 cables.

Questions about this item

What does the Category 6 rating mean for real-world network speed?

Category 6 supports up to 1 Gbps Ethernet over the full 5 ft length, so a gigabit router or switch will run at line rate.

Both ends use RJ-45 male plugs, the universal Ethernet interface that caps at 1 Gbps on Cat 6 copper.

Will the snagless boots fit through a standard keystone jack or patch panel port?

Yes, the snagless RJ-45 boots are sized for standard keystone and patch-panel openings.
