Ready for Multi-Gigabit wiring

This five-foot Category 6 patch cord carries 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps signals up to 160 feet. The yellow jacket makes the link easy to spot in a crowded rack or under a desk. Both ends terminate in molded RJ-45 plugs with strain relief and colored hoods. It suits any builder who needs a short, certified copper link.

Fits standard RJ-45 ports

The cable plugs directly into switches, routers, patch panels and NICs without adapters. Its 24 AWG stranded 100 percent copper conductors meet EIA/TIA-568B and are ETL, FCC and CSA verified. The UTP construction keeps the bundle flexible for tight cable management. Buyers who need shielded or outdoor-rated runs cannot use this cord.

Handles sustained PoE and throughput

Rated for 100 W Power over Ethernet, the conductors deliver continuous power and data without overheating. The 250 MHz bandwidth supports prolonged 10 Gbps traffic rather than brief bursts. UL-rated wire (E132276-A) maintains performance across long cable runs. Installations requiring fiber or higher-category shielding will need different media.

Questions about this item

How far can this Cat6 cable carry 10 Gbps before the signal degrades?

The 5 ft yellow patch cord is rated for 10 Gbps up to 160 ft at 250 MHz, so the short length stays well within the limit.

Does the molded Cat6 cable heat up or draw extra power during continuous PoE use?

Passive copper patch cords generate no heat and add no measurable power draw; the 100 W PoE rating simply means the conductors can carry that load safely.

What equipment must already have RJ-45 ports for this cable to work?

Both ends use standard RJ-45 male connectors, so any switch, router, PC or patch panel with an RJ-45 jack will accept the cable directly.
