15 ft Cat6 Purple Patch Cable

This 15 ft Cat6 patch cable connects network devices using RJ45 connectors on both ends. The purple jacket provides easy visual identification in crowded racks or cable runs. It suits home offices, small-business networks or anyone needing a reliable wired link without wireless interference. Builders who need longer runs beyond 160 ft for 10 Gbps or who require shielded construction should look elsewhere.

250 MHz bandwidth with 100 W PoE support

The cable is rated at 250 MHz and carries 1/2.5/5 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft using 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors. UL-rated wire (E132276-A) and ETL verification ensure consistent signal quality. Power over Ethernet devices draw up to 100 W through the same conductors, eliminating separate power adapters for access points or cameras. No active cooling or external power supply is involved.

Molded UTP design for direct device connection

Molded strain-relief boots protect the RJ45 plugs during repeated insertion and removal. The unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable flexible for routing through tight pathways or around corners. It plugs directly into switches, routers, patch panels or PoE endpoints without adapters. Installers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or who require a different connector type will need an alternative product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 15 ft Cat6 cable and what step is often missed?

Align the RJ45 tab with the port notch and push until it clicks; the step people miss is confirming the latch is fully seated so the 24 AWG stranded copper cores maintain 250 MHz performance.

What maintenance or replacement will the 15 ft Cat6 cable need later?

Inspect the molded boots and RJ45 contacts periodically; replace the cable if the latch breaks, the jacket kinks, or PoE devices negotiate below 100 W due to worn 100 % copper conductors.

What limit appears first on the 15 ft Cat6 cable during sustained 10 Gbps PoE use?

The 100 W PoE ceiling is reached before the 250 MHz bandwidth or 160 ft 10 Gbps distance rating, so attached devices cannot draw more than 100 W continuously.
