3 ft Cat6 patch cable

This three-foot yellow Cat6 patch cable uses unshielded twisted-pair construction with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is built with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and a molded strain-relief boot for durable connections in home or office networks.

Practical limits of Cat6 UTP

The cable is rated to 500 MHz and supports multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft. Unshielded twisted-pair design means it can be more susceptible to electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments than shielded alternatives.

24 AWG stranded copper decides fit

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for patch-panel and desktop routing while meeting UL E132276 and ETL verification for 100 W PoE delivery. Buyers needing solid-conductor cable for long in-wall runs or shielded cable for high-interference sites should choose a different construction.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3 ft yellow Cat6 cable or a different length for my patch panel run?

This 3 ft yellow Cat6 molded patch cord is designed for short rack or desk connections; select a longer length only if the 3 ft reach falls short of your hub-to-device distance.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for actual throughput in my gigabit network?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so a 3 ft run will handle full gigabit and higher rates without bottleneck.

Does the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard limit PoE power delivery on this cable?

No, the T568B pinout on 24 AWG 100 % copper conductors carries up to 100 W PoE while meeting ETL verification and UL rating E132276-A.
