7 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This 7 ft Cat 6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors rated to 250 MHz. Molded RJ-45 connectors on both ends include strain relief to reduce stress at the plug termination point. The blue jacket is UL listed under E132276-A and ETL verified for safety compliance.

Upgrade from Cat 5e for multi-gigabit

Replacing a Cat 5e cord with this Cat 6 cable enables 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps operation alongside standard 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps links. The jump is worth it when switches, routers or NAS devices support multi-gigabit ports and the run stays within the rated distance. Existing Cat 5e cables remain adequate for 1 Gbps-only equipment.

10 Gbps limited to 160 ft

The Cat 6 standard supports 10 Gbps only up to 160 ft; longer runs drop to 1 Gbps regardless of cable quality. PoE delivery is rated to 100 W, so high-power devices such as pan-tilt-zoom cameras or access points can be powered over the same conductors. Installations needing 10 Gbps beyond 160 ft require Cat 6a or higher cabling.

Questions about this item

What connector type does the C6PATCH7BL use for each end?

The cable has an RJ-45 male connector on both ends, so it plugs straight into any standard Ethernet port on a router, switch or network card.

How do I install the cable without damaging the plug termination?

Route the cable so the molded strain-relief boot is not forced into a sharp bend; the boot is designed to keep the cable from kinking right at the connector.

Will the cable support 100 W Power over Ethernet after extended use?

The 24 AWG 100 % copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE, and the UL-rated jacket (E132276-A) maintains that capacity over the cable's service life.
