What this cable does

This four-foot Cat 6 patch cord carries data at up to 10 Gbps over short runs and supports Power over Ethernet up to 100 W. The purple jacket makes it easy to identify in a busy rack or behind a desk.

Performance over distance

Rated at 500 MHz, the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain signal integrity for 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps links up to 160 ft, while 10 Gbps throughput is guaranteed within the shorter distances defined by the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard.

Build and everyday use

Snagless boots protect the gold-plated RJ-45 clips from catching during routing, and the molded strain relief stops sharp bends at the termination points. The CMG-rated PVC jacket is unshielded UTP, so it suits general-purpose indoor installations but not plenum spaces.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG stranded copper construction generate noticeable heat when carrying 100W PoE all day?

The 24 AWG 100% copper conductors are rated for 100W PoE, so heat remains minimal during continuous operation.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ-45 male connectors on this patch cord?

You need equipment with standard RJ-45 ports such as a switch, router, wall jack, laptop docking station or desktop NIC.

Will this Cat6 cable work reliably with my older Cat5e wall jacks and 1 Gbps switch ports?

Yes, the T568B wiring and RJ-45 connectors are fully backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure and Gigabit equipment.
