Cat 6 patch cord for 10 Gbps links

This 1 ft yellow cable is built to the Category 6 standard with RJ45 connectors on both ends. Stranded 24 AWG copper conductors support 1/2.5/5 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft. The UL rated wire (E132276-A) handles 100 W Power over Ethernet and carries ETL verification.

Installers needing a short, certified jumper

Technicians patching rack equipment or connecting a desktop to a wall jack within a tight space will find the 1 ft length convenient. Builders who need longer runs between rooms or floors should choose a different length. The cable is unshielded UTP, so environments with heavy electromagnetic interference may require a shielded alternative.

250 MHz bandwidth rating confirms Cat 6 performance

The 250 MHz rating is the single figure that guarantees the cable meets Category 6 specifications for high-speed data and PoE. If your project demands Cat 6a or higher bandwidth, this cord will not satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG copper construction generate noticeable heat when carrying 100W PoE continuously?

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are rated for 100W PoE and typical Category 6 patch cables of this gauge run cool under full load.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports to use this 1 ft Cat 6 patch cable?

Any two devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet jacks — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS or PoE access point — can be connected directly with this cable.

Will this Cat 6 cable limit speeds on my older Cat 5e switch and Gigabit NIC?

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps at 250 MHz, so it will not bottleneck a Gigabit link; it simply operates at the highest speed both ends negotiate.
