Two-foot Cat6 patch cord

This two-foot Cat6 patch cord provides a short, reliable Ethernet link for desktops, switches or access points. It uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors rated to 250 MHz and supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft. The cable carries up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet for compatible devices. Snagless RJ45 plugs protect the latch during frequent moves.

Check port spacing and cable routing

Verify that the equipment you are connecting has RJ45 ports spaced to accept standard plugs side by side. Ensure the two-foot length reaches between the two ports without tension or sharp bends. Confirm your switch, router or NIC supports the desired Multi-Gigabit rate and PoE class you intend to use. The cable is unshielded, so keep it clear of strong electromagnetic interference sources.

Fits tight patches and frees longer runs

The short blue jacket keeps rack fronts and desk grommets tidy while freeing longer cables for backbone runs. Stranded conductors make the cord flexible for patch-panel density and frequent re-patching. UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) meets building-code requirements for in-wall or plenum-adjacent routing where allowed. No external ground wire is needed because the construction is UTP.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need anything else to use this cable?

The box contains the 2 ft Cat6 patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. No additional parts are required for a standard wired network connection.

This cable is listed as Cat6 with 250 MHz bandwidth. When would I choose it over a Cat5e or Cat6a cable?

Choose this Cat6 cable when you need up to 10 Gbps speeds over short runs up to 160 ft, 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps Multi-Gig links, or 100 W PoE delivery. Cat5e tops out at 1 Gbps; Cat6a adds shielding and full 100 m 10 Gbps reach.

The spec says 10 Gbps up to 160 ft. Will I actually get 10 Gbps on my 2 ft patch cord?

Yes. At only 2 ft the cable is far below the 160 ft limit, so 10 Gbps operation is supported provided your switch, router and network cards also negotiate 10 Gbps. The 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors and UL E132276 rating ensure the signal integrity needed for that speed.
