Ready-to-use Cat6 patch cable

This four-foot black Cat6 cable arrives terminated with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends. Gold-plated contacts and a PVC jacket protect the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors. The cord is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and carries a CMG fire rating for general-purpose indoor runs. It supports Power over Ethernet up to 100 W.

Check port spacing and run length

Verify that the four-foot reach suits the distance between your switch, router or wall jack and the target device. Ensure both endpoints accept standard RJ45 connectors and that the snagless boots will not interfere with adjacent ports. The T568B wiring follows the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 standard for straight-through links.

Thermals noise and power draw

Passive copper construction means no fan noise and no heat generation from the cable itself. The 24 AWG stranded conductors handle PoE loads up to 100 W without measurable temperature rise in normal indoor ambient conditions. No external power adapter is required for operation.

Questions about this item

Does the cable arrive ready to plug in, or do I need to buy connectors separately?

It ships with an RJ‑45 male connector on each end, so no extra plugs are required.

Should I pick a shielded or unshielded version for a home office?

This model is unshielded UTP with a PVC jacket and gold‑plated contacts, suited to typical indoor runs.

Will the 500 MHz rating actually give me 10 Gbps at my desk?

The cable supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so a 4 ft run will handle the full speed.
