What it is and who it's for

This 30-foot red Cat6 patch cable provides a wired Ethernet link for desktop PCs, switches, routers and access points. It suits installers who need a visible colour code for longer runs through conduit or raceways. The snagless RJ45 connectors and moulded boots protect the clip and strain relief during pulls. Buyers who want more length or a different jacket rating will need another product.

The deciding specification

The cable is rated for multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 feet at 250 MHz bandwidth. It uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors with gold-plated contacts and carries a CMG fire rating. The assembly supports 100 W Power over Ethernet and is UL listed under file E132276-A.

How it fits into a build

The snagless design prevents the RJ45 tabs from catching on cable bundles or tray edges while routing. Moulded boots stop sharp bends at the termination points, preserving signal integrity over the full run. Red PVC jacket makes the link easy to trace in dense patch panels. It plugs directly into any standard RJ45 port without adapters.

Questions about this item

Will this cable actually run at 10 Gbps in my office?

It supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so a 30 ft run will handle that speed without issue.

What does the Cat 6 rating and 250 MHz bandwidth mean for my connection?

Cat 6 at 250 MHz caps at 10 Gbps for short runs and guarantees Gigabit performance at full length.

How thick is the cable and will it fit standard wall plates?

It uses 24 AWG stranded copper with standard RJ45 plugs that fit any keystone jack or patch panel.
