Ideal for short patch runs

This two-foot orange Cat6 patch cord is built for tight spaces inside racks, wall plates or desktop setups where a longer cable would create clutter. The snagless RJ-45 connectors and flexible stranded conductors make it easy to route through crowded panels without damaging the latch.

Sustained throughput up to 10 Gbps

The cable is rated at 500 MHz and tested to support Multi-Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps over distances up to 160 ft, so the short length has ample headroom for continuous high-speed data and 100 W PoE loads without signal degradation.

Gold-plated contacts and CMG-rated jacket

Gold plating on the contact pins resists corrosion for reliable reconnects, while the PVC jacket meets CMG general-purpose fire ratings for in-wall or plenum-adjacent runs. The unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable light and pliable for everyday patching.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG stranded copper cable heat up when carrying 100 W PoE all day?

The 24 AWG 100 % copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE and run at normal temperature under continuous load.

My switch ports are standard RJ-45; will the gold-plated snagless plugs on this cable seat correctly?

Both ends use gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors wired to T568B, so they fit any standard RJ-45 jack without adapters.

Will this Cat6 patch cord work with my older Cat5e panel and 1 Gbps router without slowing the link?

The cable is backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both devices support, up to 1 Gbps on Cat5e gear.
