6 ft Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable

This 6 ft black Cat6 patch cable connects network devices using RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It supports Multi Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps at distances up to 160 ft. The 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors are UL rated and carry up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet. It is suited for home, office or data-centre links that need reliable Gigabit and Multi Gigabit throughput.

Snagless Boots and Gold Plated Contacts

The snagless boot design protects the locking tabs from catching on adjacent cables during routing or removal. Gold plating on the connector pins resists corrosion and maintains low contact resistance over repeated insertions. The PVC jacket meets CMG fire rating for general purpose indoor installation. No special tools are required; simply press each RJ-45 plug into a compatible port until it clicks.

Verify Port Speed and Cable Length Requirements

Before ordering, confirm that your switch, router or NIC ports support the desired 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps rates. Ensure the 6 ft length reaches between your devices without tension or sharp bends. The T568B wiring standard matches most modern structured cabling, but check existing patch panels for consistency. This cable is unshielded UTP, so assess nearby electromagnetic interference if running parallel to power lines.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the cable is performing at its rated 250 MHz bandwidth after installation?

Use a cable certifier or network tester that measures frequency response up to 250 MHz and confirms TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 compliance.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the 6 ft Cat6 UTP patch cord with snagless RJ-45 connectors; no additional components are included.

Which length should I choose for a 10 Gbps link?

This 6 ft version supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so it is suitable for any run within that distance.
