6 ft Red Cat6 Snagless Ethernet Cable

This six-foot Cat6 patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs to carry multi-gigabit traffic up to 10 Gbps. The snagless boots protect the release tabs during frequent moves, while the PVC jacket meets CMG fire rating for general-purpose indoor runs. It is built for home offices, small-business networks and temporary test setups that need a reliable drop cable. ||

Installers needing quick patch links

The cable suits anyone adding a single workstation, IP camera or access point where a short, colour-coded run simplifies cable management. Buyers who need shielded construction for noisy electrical environments, plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces or lengths beyond six feet should look at other cable types. ||

500 MHz Cat6 rating and T568B wiring

The 500 MHz bandwidth specification confirms the cable supports 10 GBASE-T up to the full 160 ft channel distance defined by the standard. Verifying that your switch ports and patch-panel terminations also follow T568B ensures the link negotiates at the expected speed without re-termination. ||

Questions about this item

How far can the 500 MHz Cat6 rating sustain 10 Gbps before the signal drops?

The cable supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft under the Cat6 500 MHz specification.

Does the 24 AWG stranded copper construction run warm or draw noticeable power during continuous PoE loads?

The 100 W PoE rating is within the 24 AWG copper design limits, so heat and power draw stay negligible during all-day use.

Will the gold-plated RJ45 connectors fit my switch and router ports without adapters?

Yes, both ends use standard RJ45 male plugs compatible with any Gigabit or Multi-Gig Ethernet port.
