25 ft Cat 6 Patch Cable

This 25-foot Cat 6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors rated to 250 MHz. Molded RJ45 connectors on both ends provide a secure link for Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit networks up to 10 Gbps at distances within 160 ft. The orange jacket aids quick identification in dense racks.

Suits PoE gear and high-speed runs

Installers powering PoE devices up to 100 W or running 2.5/5/10 Gbps links will find the UL-rated (E132276-A) construction compliant and the stranded core flexible for patch-panel work. Builders needing plenum-rated jackets, shielded pairs or lengths beyond 160 ft for 10 Gbps should specify a different cable type.

Fits standard RJ45 ports and patch panels

The molded boots protect the latch during repeated inserts while the UTP design keeps the diameter slim for crowded switches. It connects directly to any Cat 6-compatible port, freeing you from separate keystone terminations and letting you route the 25 ft run through existing cable management without bulky connectors.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 ports do my devices need to use this 25 ft Cat 6 cable?

Both ends use standard RJ45 connectors, so any device with an RJ45 port — router, switch, PC, NAS or PoE access point — will accept the cable directly.

Will this cable run at 10 Gbps on my older Cat 5e patch panel and switch ports?

The cable is rated for 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, but the link will negotiate to the lowest common speed; Cat 5e ports typically cap at 1 Gbps, so expect 1 Gbps unless both ends support 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps.

How can I confirm the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are delivering the rated 250 MHz performance after installation?

Use a cable certifier or a multi-gigabit switch that reports link speed; a stable 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps connection over the 25 ft run indicates the 250 MHz channel is performing to spec.
