Five-foot Cat 6 patch cable

This five-foot Cat 6 patch cable provides a short, flexible link for Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit Ethernet connections. It is suited for home offices, small-business networks or temporary test setups where a compact red cable aids identification. The moulded strain-relief boots protect the RJ-45 plugs during frequent re-patching.

250 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft

The cable is rated at 250 MHz and supports 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft, so the five-foot length operates well within its certified performance envelope. ETL verification and UL-rated 24 AWG stranded copper conductors confirm compliance with the Cat 6 standard for reliable data throughput.

Gold-plated contacts and 100 W PoE capability

Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over repeated mating cycles. The cable carries up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet, allowing it to supply high-power devices such as wireless access points or PTZ cameras without a separate power injector. Buyers needing longer runs or plenum-rated jackets should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item

What real-world speeds will I see from the 250 MHz Cat 6 rating once the cable is installed?

The cable supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps links up to 160 ft, so a 5 ft run will deliver full negotiated speed without distance loss.

How does the RJ-45 interface and ETL verification limit what the cable can carry?

Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs and ETL verification guarantee performance to the Cat 6 standard — 250 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft — with no higher category support.

Will the 24 AWG stranded copper and molded boots fit a standard keystone jack or patch panel?

Yes — 24 AWG stranded conductors and standard RJ-45 dimensions seat cleanly in any keystone, patch panel or switch port; the molded strain relief adds only a few millimetres.
