Purpose & Audience

This three-foot Cat6 patch cable connects two RJ45 ports for Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet links. It suits installers who need a short, factory-terminated run between a switch, router or wall jack and a desktop, access point or PoE device.

Build & Connectors

The cable uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors in a four-pair UTP layout with molded strain relief on each RJ45 plug. It carries a 500 MHz rating, meets TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring, and is UL listed (E132276-A) and ETL verified for 100 W Power over Ethernet.

Upgrade Context

It replaces older Cat5 or Cat5e patch cords when 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps throughput is required over distances up to 160 ft. The jump is worthwhile when existing cabling limits link speed or PoE power delivery on multi-gigabit ports.

Questions about this item

Does this Cat6 cable support 10 Gbps speeds at its 3 ft length?

Yes, the 3 ft Cat6 patch cord is rated for 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so it handles full 10 Gbps at this length.

What connector type and wiring standard does this cable use?

Both ends use RJ45 plugs wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard with 4-pair UTP conductors.

How do I correctly seat the RJ45 plugs on this molded cable?

Push each RJ45 plug firmly into the port until the retention tab clicks; the molded boot protects the latch but does not replace the click.
