2 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This two-foot Cat 6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports multi-gigabit speeds including 10 Gbps up to 160 ft. The snagless boot design protects the locking tab during frequent moves.

CMG-rated PVC jacket with snagless boots

The gray PVC jacket carries a CMG fire rating for general-purpose indoor runs. Snagless moulded boots prevent the RJ-45 latch from catching on adjacent cables or panel ports. Unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable flexible for tight routing behind desks or inside racks.

Replaces shorter or lower-category cords

Swapping a Cat 5e or damaged patch cord for this Cat 6 link restores headroom for 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps NICs and handles 100 W PoE loads. The jump is worth it when existing cables limit link negotiation or when PoE devices require the thicker copper gauge.

Questions about this item

What data rates does the Cat 6 500 MHz rating support in practice?

The cable is rated for 1/2.5/5 Gbps and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft at 250 MHz bandwidth.

What physical space do the snagless RJ-45 connectors need?

Each end uses a standard RJ-45 male plug with a snagless boot that protects the release tab during insertion and removal.

How do I wire the T568B-terminated ends for PoE?

The cable arrives pre-terminated to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard; simply plug the RJ-45 connectors into the device and switch ports for up to 100 W PoE.
