Cat6 patch cable for short runs

The seven-foot blue cable is rated for Category 6 performance and fitted with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. It supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 gigabit per second data rates up to 160 feet. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors meet UL rating E132276-A and carry up to 100 watts of Power over Ethernet.

Sustained throughput on long links

At the full 160-foot distance the cable maintains its 250 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps signalling without the errors that appear on lesser cables under continuous load. The pure copper core keeps resistance low so signal integrity holds steady during large file transfers or constant streaming traffic.

Snagless boots and molded strain relief

The snagless connector guards protect the locking tabs from catching on other cables during routing, while the molded strain relief stops sharp bends at the plug. Blue PVC jacketing resists abrasion in tight bundles and aids visual identification without adding bulk or heat.

Questions about this item

Does the 7 ft Cat6 cable generate any heat or draw extra power when carrying 10 Gbps traffic all day?

The cable is passive copper with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat and draws zero power regardless of the 10 Gbps load.

What devices or connectors must I already have to use this RJ‑45 patch cord?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ‑45 ports — such as a router, switch, PC or access point — because both ends terminate in male RJ‑45 plugs.

Will the 24 AWG stranded conductors and 250 MHz rating work reliably with my older Cat5e wall jacks and Gigabit switch?

Yes; the Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible, so it will negotiate Gigabit speeds over Cat5e infrastructure while its higher 250 MHz bandwidth provides headroom for future upgrades.
