7 ft Cat6 cable for 10 Gbps links

This 7-foot Category 6 patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors rated to 250 MHz. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends support 1/2.5/5 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft. Molded strain-relief boots protect the terminations during repeated insertion cycles. The cable carries a UL E132276-A listing and is rated for 100 W Power over Ethernet.

Suited for short patch runs and PoE devices

Installers connecting switches, routers, access points or IP cameras within a rack or across a desk will find the length convenient. Buyers needing longer horizontal runs, outdoor-rated jackets or fibre links should look at other products. The black jacket and coloured hoods aid visual identification in dense panels.

250 MHz bandwidth enables 10 Gbps to 160 ft

The 250 MHz rating is the single figure that determines whether the cable meets a 10 GBASE-T requirement at this length. If the installation demands certified performance beyond 160 ft or a higher frequency class, this cable will not satisfy that need.

Questions about this item

How far can this Cat6 cable run at 10 Gbps before performance drops?

The cable supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so a 7 ft length stays well within that limit.

Does the 24 AWG copper construction handle 100 W PoE without overheating during all-day use?

Yes, the UL-rated 24 AWG stranded copper is specified for 100 W PoE, keeping heat and power loss low in continuous operation.

Will the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors fit my existing keystone jacks and switch ports?

The cable terminates in standard RJ-45 male plugs with gold contacts, compatible with any Cat6 or Cat5e keystone jack and network switch port.
