5 ft Cat 6 Orange Patch Cable

This 5 ft orange Cat 6 patch cable connects a wall jack to a laptop docking station or desktop computer. It uses stranded 24 AWG copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose indoor use. The cable is wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard.

Capacity and headroom

The cable supports Multi-Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5 and 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft with a 250 MHz bandwidth rating. It handles 100 W Power over Ethernet for devices such as access points or cameras. It will not serve runs that exceed the supported distance for 10 Gbps operation.

Snagless connectors and strain relief

Snagless RJ-45 clips protect the locking tabs from breaking during installation or removal. Molded boots provide strain relief by preventing sharp bends at the connector termination points. The unshielded twisted-pair design keeps the cable flexible for routing around corners. The orange jacket allows quick colour coding in a structured cabling setup.

Questions about this item

Will this Cat6 cable work with my older Cat5e wall jacks and router ports?

Yes, the RJ-45 connectors are backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 hardware, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support.

How can I verify the cable is delivering the rated 500 MHz bandwidth after I plug it in?

Run a cable certifier or use the network adapter's link-speed indicator; a stable 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps negotiation confirms the 250 MHz channel is performing to spec.

Does the 5 ft orange cable come with any extra connectors or do I need to buy RJ-45 couplers separately?

The cable has a gold-plated RJ-45 male plug on each end and snagless molded boots; no additional connectors or couplers are included or required for a direct device-to-jack connection.
