Seven-foot Cat 6 patch cable

This seven-foot Cat 6 patch cable uses 24 AWG solid copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors. The low-smoke zero-halogen jacket reduces toxic fumes in a fire. It supports 10 GbE and multi-gigabit speeds up to 55 m and carries 100 W PoE++.

Suits installers needing LSZH compliance

The LSZH construction meets strict building codes for plenum or riser spaces where standard PVC is prohibited. Buyers who only need a basic home patch cable without fire-safety requirements can choose a less specialised option.

Handles 10 GbE at full 55 m reach

At 7 ft the cable is well within the 55 m channel limit for 10 GbE, so signal headroom is ample. It also delivers the full 100 W PoE++ budget without voltage-drop concerns. Runs longer than 55 m will exceed the rated 10 GbE distance and need a higher category or fibre.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ45 ports to use this Cat 6 cable?

Any network equipment with standard RJ45 jacks — switches, routers, patch panels, servers, workstations or PoE++ endpoints — will accept the connectors on this 7 ft cable.

Will the 24 AWG conductors and 50 micron gold pins work with older Cat 5e ports?

Yes, the RJ45 plugs are backwards compatible, so the cable will negotiate at the highest speed the legacy port supports while still delivering up to 100W PoE++.

How can I verify the link is running at 10 Gbps after installation?

Check the switch or NIC status LEDs and the operating-system link-speed readout; both should report 10 Gbps when the cable is operating at its rated 650 MHz bandwidth.
