12 ft Cat6 cable for Gigabit and PoE runs

This twelve-foot Category 6 patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 plugs on both ends. It is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 Gigabit speeds up to 160 ft, plus 100 W Power over Ethernet. The CMG fire rating makes it suitable for general-purpose indoor installation.

Snagless boots and UTP construction simplify routing

Snagless moulded boots protect the locking tabs during pulls through cable managers or tight pathways. The unshielded twisted-pair design keeps the cable flexible for desk or patch-panel terminations without special grounding requirements. T568B wiring follows the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 standard for broad equipment compatibility.

Handles 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE; length limits apply

The cable comfortably carries 1/2.5/5 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet alongside 100 W PoE loads within the 160 ft channel limit. At 12 ft it leaves ample headroom for patch-panel-to-switch or workstation links. Builders needing longer permanent links, shielded variants, or outdoor-rated jackets will need a different product.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 12 ft Cat6 cable is delivering 10 Gbps after installation?

Use a network tester or switch port LEDs to verify link speed; the cable supports 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps up to 160 ft with 24 AWG stranded copper and 500 MHz rating.

What comes in the box and what extra items are needed for a PoE connection?

The box contains the 12 ft blue snagless Cat6 patch cord with gold-plated RJ45 connectors; no extra parts are required for 100 W PoE as the conductors are 100 % copper and UL rated.

Which wiring standard should I choose for a standard office patch panel?

The cable is terminated to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard, which matches most commercial patch panels and wall jacks.
