Cable length and application

This 100 ft Cat6 patch cable provides a wired network link for devices that sit far from a switch or router. The blue jacket and moulded RJ45 ends suit office, home or rack installations where a single long run is simpler than multiple shorter segments.

Cat6 bandwidth and distance limits

The cable is rated at 250 MHz and supports 1 Gbps Ethernet up to the full 100 ft length. Multi-gigabit rates of 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps are also achievable across the run, while 10 Gbps operation is specified up to 160 ft, giving headroom beyond the supplied length.

Conductor gauge and power capacity

The 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors carry up to 100 W of PoE, so access points, cameras or VoIP phones can be powered over the same link. Gold-plated contacts and ETL verification ensure consistent performance, though the UTP construction offers no shielding against strong external interference.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 100 ft blue Cat6 cable or a shorter length for my run?

The 100 ft blue Cat6 cable supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so it handles full speed at this length. Shorter cables work the same way; pick the length that reaches your devices without excess slack.

What does the 250 MHz rating mean for my actual network speed?

The 250 MHz bandwidth supports 1 Gbps Ethernet reliably and enables 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps Multi-Gig links up to 160 ft, so your router and NIC can negotiate the highest speed they both support.

How does the RJ45 connector and UTP design limit performance in practice?

Molded RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold contacts and 24 AWG 100% copper conductors keep crosstalk low, letting the cable deliver its rated 250 MHz / 10 Gbps capability and carry 100 W PoE without bottleneck.
