100 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable

This 100-foot Category 6 cable uses unshielded twisted-pair construction with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors. It is rated for 250 MHz bandwidth and supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps. Molded boots protect the connectors from damage during installation.

Installers needing a single long run

The cable carries up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet and is ETL verified for safety compliance. It suits structured wiring jobs that require a 100-foot orange cable with lifetime warranty coverage. Builders who need shielded cable for high-interference environments or plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces should select a different product.

Check connector clearance and pathway length

Verify that the molded RJ45 plugs fit the available port spacing on your switches, patch panels or wall plates. Ensure the 100-foot length matches the measured cable route including slack for termination and future moves. Confirm that UTP construction meets the fire-rating requirements for your installation space.

Questions about this item

What network ports or devices must I already have to use this 100 ft Cat6 cable?

You need two RJ45 ports — on a router, switch, PC, NAS or any Gigabit Ethernet device — to plug each moulded male connector into.

Will this orange Cat6 patch cord work with my existing Cat5e wall jacks and older 100 Mbps switch?

Yes, the 24 AWG 100 % copper conductors and 50-micron gold contacts are backward compatible with Cat5e and 10/100 equipment while still supporting 1/2.5/5 Gbps and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft.

How can I verify the 100 ft cable is delivering the rated 250 MHz / 650 MHz performance after installation?

Run a qualified cable certifier or the link-speed indicator on your switch; a negotiated 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps link with low error counters confirms the 250 MHz bandwidth and 100 W PoE capability are intact.
