1 ft Cat6 Patch Cable

This 1 ft red Cat6 patch cable provides a short Gigabit Ethernet link with Power over Ethernet support. It suits installers who need a compact connection between a switch and a device in a rack or on a desk.

Sustained 250 MHz bandwidth

The cable is rated for 250 MHz bandwidth and supports Multi Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft. Gold-plated contacts and 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors maintain signal integrity during continuous PoE loads up to 100 W.

Snagless RJ45 installation

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs so the connectors release cleanly from crowded ports. The CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements, and the UL-rated wire (E132276-A) simplifies compliance checks for structured-cabling projects.

Questions about this item

Does the 1 ft Cat6 cable get warm or draw noticeable power when carrying 100 W PoE all day?

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE, so the 1 ft run stays cool and adds negligible resistance during continuous use.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this patch cord to work?

Both ends are RJ45 male connectors, so you need two devices — such as a switch, router, PC or PoE access point — that each provide a standard RJ45 jack.

Will this Cat6 cable run at 10 Gbps alongside my older Cat5e patch panel?

The cable is certified to 250 MHz and supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, but the overall link speed will be limited to the lowest category component in the chain.
