Five-foot Cat 6 patch cable

This five-foot Category 6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The molded strain-relief boots and coloured hoods protect the terminations during repeated insertion. It is rated for 250 MHz bandwidth and supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10 Gbps over short runs. ETL, FCC and CSA certifications confirm compliance with EIA/TIA-568B wiring standards.

Check connector spacing and run length

Verify that the five-foot length reaches between your switch, router or wall jack and the target device without tension. Ensure both ports accept standard RJ-45 plugs and that the pathway can accommodate the molded boot diameter. The cable is unshielded UTP, so keep it clear of high-voltage lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Confirm the equipment supports the desired link speed before expecting multi-gigabit throughput.

Sustained throughput on long runs

At the full 160-foot channel limit the cable maintains 10 Gbps performance thanks to its 250 MHz rating and solid copper construction. The 100 W Power over Ethernet capability delivers continuous power without voltage drop on compatible endpoints. Stranded conductors resist fatigue when the patch cord is routed through cable management or moved during maintenance. ETL verification ensures consistent attenuation and crosstalk margins under continuous load.

Questions about this item

Does the cable come with both RJ-45 connectors already attached, or do I need to buy plugs separately?

Both ends are factory-terminated with RJ-45 male plugs and coloured hoods, so nothing extra is required.

The spec lists 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps — which speed will I actually get?

The cable supports all four rates; the link speed is negotiated by the switch or NIC at each end.

What does the 250 MHz / 160 ft rating mean for a 5 ft patch lead in my rack?

At 5 ft the cable easily meets the 250 MHz bandwidth needed for 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE.
