Length Cat 6 Patch Cable

This six-inch Cat 6 patch cord connects two RJ-45 ports in tight spaces such as patch panels, switch stacks or server racks. The green PVC jacket makes it easy to colour-code runs at a glance. It is built for installers who need a reliable, UL-listed link without excess slack.

Cat 6 Performance Limits

The cable is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 Gbps transmission up to 160 ft, with 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps Multi-Gig operation over the same distance. Gold-plated contacts and 24 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain signal integrity for PoE loads up to 100 W. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad equipment compatibility.

Snagless Unshielded Construction

A snagless boot protects the release tabs during frequent insertion and removal, reducing the risk of broken connectors in dense patching environments. The UTP design with a CMG fire rating suits general-purpose indoor installations where shielding is not required. Buyers who need shielded cable for high-EMI areas or longer pre-made lengths will need a different product.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6-inch green cable or a longer length for my patch panel?

The 6-inch green Cat 6 patch cord is intended for very short rack or panel links; choose a longer cable when the distance between ports exceeds six inches.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for actual throughput in my switch?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps Ethernet up to 160 feet, so a six-inch run will carry full multi-gigabit speeds without loss.

Does the T568B wiring and RJ-45 gold-plated connectors limit PoE or data rates?

T568B pinout and gold-plated RJ-45 ends are standard for Cat 6 and pass 100 W PoE plus all supported data rates without restriction.
