Ready for Multi-Gigabit networks

This seven-foot Cat6 patch cable supports 1 2.5 and 5 Gbps links and 10 Gbps runs up to 160 feet. Red PVC jacket and snagless molded connectors simplify rack and desk routing. 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are UL listed under file E132276-A.

PoE power and crosstalk control

The cord delivers up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet for access points cameras and VoIP phones. Construction is tested to minimise Near End Crosstalk and the molded strain relief protects the connector junction from bending stress.

Not for permanent outdoor or plenum installs

PVC jacket is not UV rated and does not meet plenum fire codes so the cable is unsuitable for exterior runs or air-handling spaces. Buyers needing shielded pairs or longer 10 Gbps distances should select a higher category cable.

Questions about this item

What length of cable run does this 7 ft patch cord support for 10 Gbps speeds?

The Cat6 cable is rated for 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so this 7 ft length is well within that limit.

What is the correct way to route the cable to use the molded strain relief?

The molded strain relief is built into each connector; avoid sharp bends right at the plug so the relief absorbs tension.

How often should I check the 24 AWG copper conductors for PoE heating?

The 100 W PoE rating and UL‑listed 24 AWG copper are designed for continuous operation; no periodic conductor checks are required.
