5 ft Cat6 UTP Patch Cable

This five-foot Cat6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors in a four-pair unshielded twisted-pair construction. It is built for multi-gigabit Ethernet links at 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps over distances up to 160 ft. The green molded jacket provides strain relief and easy cable identification in dense rack or desk environments.

Installation and common issues

Both ends carry standard RJ45 connectors wired to the T568B pinout, so the cord plugs directly into any 8P8C port without tools. The molded boots protect the latch tabs, but they can snag on adjacent cables when routing through tight cable managers. The stranded conductors flex easily for patch-panel work, yet repeated sharp bends near the connector may fatigue the copper over time.

Practical limits of Cat6 at 500 MHz

The cable is rated to 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 Gbps transmission only up to 160 ft; beyond that length the standard drops back to 1 Gbps. It carries up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet, making it suitable for PoE+ and high-power PoE devices. Shielding is not present, so in electrically noisy environments cross-talk from adjacent cables can reduce achievable throughput.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the cable is delivering up to 10Gbps speeds after connecting it?

The cable is rated for 500 MHz and supports 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps up to 160ft; verify link speed in your OS network adapter settings or switch port status LEDs.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy RJ45 connectors separately?

The box contains the 5 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors pre-installed on both ends; no additional connectors are required.

Which cable length should I choose for a 10Gbps run?

This 5 ft version supports 10Gbps up to 160ft; select a longer Cat6 patch cable if your run exceeds 5 ft but stays within the 160ft limit.
