6-inch Cat6 patch cable

This six-inch white Cat6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 plugs on both ends. The snagless boot protects the locking tab during frequent insertion and removal. It is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports Power over Ethernet up to 100 W. The CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements.

Builders needing a short white link

Technicians who need a tidy white connection between a patch panel and a switch in a rack will appreciate the short length and snagless design. Installers who require shielded cable for noisy environments or outdoor-rated jacketing should look elsewhere. Users needing longer runs beyond the six-inch length must choose a different cable.

Behaviour under sustained load

The 24 AWG stranded 100 percent copper conductors maintain signal integrity at 500 MHz during continuous 10 Gbps traffic up to the rated distance. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that can degrade PoE delivery over time. The CMG-rated PVC jacket withstands normal operating temperatures without softening during extended high-power PoE sessions.

Questions about this item

What RJ-45 ports must my devices already have to use this cable?

Both devices need standard RJ-45 female Ethernet ports; the cable has gold-plated RJ-45 male plugs on each end.

Will this 6-inch Cat6 cable work with my older Cat5e switch and router?

Yes, Cat6 is backward compatible with Cat5e equipment; the link will run at the lowest common speed.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering multi-gigabit speeds after I connect it?

Check the port LEDs or OS network status for a 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps link indication.
